Hello all:
I've searched the archives for "redundancy" and "load balancing" last
night although http://thethin.net seems to be down presently so I cannot
continue my research. I also searched freelist and google but it did
not return much.
I've read the older document: http://www.dabcc.com/nfuse/
Building an NLB Clustered NFuse Portal
NLB would seem to work OK for smaller implementations.
However, here is my current scenario.
I am installing a 30-35 Compaq server backend of Windows 2000 and
Metaframe Xpe (Single Farm and Zone) for one of my clients.
All access will be provided through NFUSE and CSG. (Internal and
External) (Additional 6 servers)
External link consists of dedicated T3. Combined usuage initially of
1000 users (Internal and External) accessing the Farm. Farm will
contain PA's only. W2k SP3, Xpe FR2.
I'm fielding suggestions on clustering/load balancing the CSG component
and NFUSE Portals. I'm looking at 6 servers on the front end or
possible a hardware/VMWare solution.
I want to use NFUSE 1.71 and possibly a customized version of the
webclient.
For example. Let's say I have 4 servers running NLB for IIS and 2
servers running CSG. How will the NLB affect communication between the
portal - client - CSG - to Farm. I cannot seem to find any
documentation related to this.
Can multiple portals use the same CSG? Is there a way to NLB the CSG
component? My "guess" to these answers would be "Yes" and "No". But,
I'm not sure.
I'm not necessary looking for "the answer" but would like some good
research links and comments/suggestions?
Thanks.
