Clustering

Post by dustinn3 » Tue Mar 29, 2005 10:33 pm

I'm looking to setup a failsafe system for our pacs and was wondering if clustering would be an option? Just curious if Pacsone would support this. I know mysql does. I was reading some about it and it looks like a great solution if it would work.

Thanks,

Clustering seems to be less cost-effective or overkill for a PACS database, because unlike an online store or search engine, there're no millions of simultaneous users to worry about load balancing issues among multiple servers.

To provide high availability, the MySQL master/slave replication solution should be more than enough to provide 24x7 uptime as well as some degree of load balancing for database queries. It's also a simpler solution than clustering.

For more details, please also refer to the discussions in the following thread:
