I was thinking of two solutions : ####################### 1. Installing 2 high perf computers : ####################### This will involve buying 2 servers with the same level of disks,=20 hardware RAID array, and software. Regarding FreeBSD, I would install the software I need and sync the=20 /etc and other vital soft using rsync. ##################### 2. Installing a high perf cluster : ##################### There is a question regarding how to setup this cluster with a=20 redundancy on every part of the system (hardware + software). Has someone already been producing a high level cluster with FreeBSD ? What hardware have you been using ? What are the problems you are facing ? Any pointer ? --- The second question will be which of the two system will you use ? Thanks for your answers. ______________________________________________ =AB?=BB=A5=AB?=BB=A7=AB?=BB=A5=AB?=BB=A7=AB?=BB=A5=AB?=BB=A7=AB?=BB=A5=AB?= =BB=A7=AB?=BB=A5=AB?=BB=A7=AB?=BB=A5=AB?=BB=A7 =AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF= =AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF Gr=E9gory Bernard 11, rue de la Tour Directeur 75116 Paris France www.ToDoo.biz tel : +(33) 1 40 26 43 14 ______________________________________________ =AB?=BB=A5=AB?=BB=A7=AB?=BB=A5=AB?=BB=A7=AB?=BB=A5=AB?=BB=A7=AB?=BB=A5=AB?= =BB=A7=AB?=BB=A5=AB?=BB=A7=AB?=BB=A5=AB?=BB=A7 =AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF= =AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF=AF PGP ID --> 0x1BA3C2FD "All parts should go together without forcing.
