It will depend a great deal on the nature of your application and how many end users you think you may have. Also, how will you manage your storage/database (internal to the 5 boxes, external array, two extra boxes on fail-over etc)? Is your application read heavy or write heavy?
Why? This discussion assumes that data access impact is negligible. Ok, lets assume that the data is available locally on every box as text files.
Also, will your users be connecting securely using SSL/TLS & what type of load balancer will you use out the front (and will it have SSL accelerators)?
How would this affect the choice between the options? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
