Switch For Clustering System
I am going to build a clustering system for a customer. It's around 15 servers running apache, mysql and mail. Wondering which switch do you recommend for that? I am using a HP Procurve 2524 for another smaller system, but customers face to slow performance *sometimes*
For the feature, dont need much. Dont need routing feature (Layer3 switch?), just to connect all of them into a clustering system.

Server Clustering
I am trying to setup a server cluster for my client and was thinking about load balancer. Currently he has 4 Servers and 1 VPS. 4 Servers are in the same datacenter while VPS isn't. Now from my thoughts about the system load, I have decided to setup like this: VPS being the load balancer 2 Servers being the Apache 1 Server being Storage server 1 Server being MySQL This will be hosting two forums that has very high concurrent access. Now the problem is VPS has only 200GB/mo bandwidth while he needs about 800GB total. My question is is there anyway to load balance the servers without the traffic going like this: LoadBalancer-->Apache Servers-->LoadBalancer-->USER If the traffic goes like that then VPS needs to have about 1600GB bandwidth and will have network bottlenecks. I would like the traffic to go like the following: LoadBalancer-->Apache Servers-->USERS

Dedicated Server Clustering
Im going to start to plan to build a new hosting setup within my business and aim to slowly move away from the shared hosting scene and move into clustered (web hosting) Now im not great with words so i am sorry if any of this doesnt make sence. Im looking to build a setup using 5+ Dedicated servers, using a cluster config and using something like plesk on top to offer high availability hosting. As i understand it using a clustered setup will provide a much higher chance of keeping 99.9/100% uptime as it eliminates a single point of failure. But what im un sure on and what ive not learnt about yet is what is needed to make this work, what kind of software is involved and how would the Hard-drive arrangement work. For example If each server had 5 Hdd's in Raid5 totaling 1TB Space and there was a total of 5 servers, would there still be 1TB space overall of does it work slightly different to that?

CPanel DNS Clustering
I just set up a cPanel DNS Cluster today. Followed the guide, and everything didnt according to my plan. As in, setup went fine, setting it up went fine too. But I do not think I understood how this solution works in real... or atleast I had assumed it to work in a different way. So for my questions... 1) How and where do I edit the DNS Zones. On the local system or the DNS dedicated server? 2) How do I create nameservers for this dedicated DNS server? Not the registrar part, but the A record and NS record part. 3) Small doubt, not a big one. Does the DNS server have to be in stand alone mode or synchronized mode?

Failover Or True Clustering
I have been searching and searching for a solution. We are currently using one single vps to host some of our clients. We are finding more and more that we need to have some redundancy. I have looked at using DNS failover using RSYNC/mysql replication etc with two servers, but just dont like the idea. I have also looked at hosts like imountain etc that use h-sphere. I dont like this setup because services are split onto single machines. For example mail is done on one single server, therefor if that server is down, mail is down. What I am looking for: I am trying to stay in a budget of 150/month or less. I would like to get one of the two options here: option 1: two vps's or dedi's that technically act as one(a true cluster) then on top of that is OS and control panel and done. This solution doesnt allow for whole datacenter outages, or network issues. option 2: Two geographically placed vps or dedi's that are somehow either load balanced, or failover. Ultimately our goal is to have high uptime, but we dont really have much server load. Basically failover is ok as loads are always low anyway, but if we are paying big $$ it would be nice to have it load balanced. Please let me know if my expectations are way to high or my price is way too low. I need to find a solution here somehow and if I cant find anything will most likely just go with DNS failover.

Cpanel DNS Clustering
I'm currently using Cpanel on all our web hosting machines (total of 6 machines). Each runs its own DNS but also uses the Cpanel cluster feature to sync between all machines. This has got to the point where DNS updates will not stay, the machines get very lagged etc etc. Now I have put 2 more machines online to do nothing but DNS. What is the best way to set this up?

Dns Clustering .. VPS Vs. Dedicated
I'm not into Dns Clustering that much all I know is some articles and threads about how to do it, and the benefits Anyway I decided to give it a try 1st with minimum fees so I want to host my Main domain website on a VPS, as it don't need much resources and using it as a Primary Dns Server and use my current server as a Slave DNS server that is contain most of my client sites It's logically possible as I see but.. Is there any Disadvantage? if exist what is it? Do I have to make both on the same DC? Will it affect my Slave DNS Server Performance, Stability and Load?

CPanel DNS Clustering And Redundancy
I am working on setting up a few servers that run cPanel and the usual software, minus any sort of DNS server. These servers are setup to sync all DNS records over to a cPanel "Dns Only" (ns1.domain.com), which in turn syncs all its records to a backup DNS server (ns2.domain.com). In other words: [Domain registrar] | | [NS1]--Sync-->[NS2] | (Sync to NS1) | Cpanel Web Server Now, say something happens to NS1 and the sever goes completely offline (i.e. power supply dies, CPU goes bad, etc.), which of the following scenarios would actually happen: 1) Because the registrar lists both NS1 and NS2 as NS records, NS1 would time out and the DNS lookup would look to the secondary DNS (NS2) for the record. 2) The registrar would randomly give out NS1 OR NS2 because of round robin, and if NS1 is given to a client as the result of a DNS lookup, the site will appear down, however if the client happens to be referred to NS2, the site would appear online. 3) The site would be down no matter what. So, if someone with knowledge on the subject wouldn't mind enlightening me as to which of those would actually take place in the event of a failure on NS1, and maybe some suggestions as to keeping the DNS truely "redundant", then I would greatly appreciate it. And Im aware that there are many 3rd party services that will take care of the DNS records and make them redundant (DYNDNS, DNSMadeEasy, etc) But I would prefer to keep the DNS in our full control.

Recommendations For High-performance Hosting (clustering)
I'd like to get your recommendations on how I should approach this problem. I posted this in another part of the forum, but I feel that this is a more appropriate place for it. Problem: How to handle large amounts of traffic with for a social network website? If a user uploads a photo or video, how does it become accessible on all of the server? If traffic is expected to be about 500,000 visitors a day, how many machines do you think I should use? Possible Solution: I've come up with the following possible infrastructure. One load balancer. The load balancer has 3 PHP/Apache servers behind it. Behind each of the PHP/Apache servers is a (slave) MySQL server, from which data is read. Behind the slave MySQL servers, there is 1 master MySQL server, which handles all of the database writes. The master MySQL and slave MySQL servers are synced up, so data is up to date. The actual photo and video files are not stored in the database, only the links to them is stored in the database (to keep the database small). The photo and video reside in a central location (like a SAN or NAS), which is accessible by all of the 3 PHP/Apache webservers. Questions: 1. How many machines do you think will be able to handle photo and video uploads for 500,000 visitors a day? 2. Is having a SAN with Terabytes of RAIDED disk space an available option? 3. If a SAN or NAS is not an option, does anyone have any ideas on how to make sure all of the web servers have access to the same photos and videos? Is rsync a viable solution? 4. Which hosting provider do you think I should go with? 5. Is clustering what I need? What is clustering and how will it address my concerns?

DNS Clustering Question (windows & Linux)
I have a 2 cPanel DNSonly cluster setup for all our hosting operations. However, we are adding a Windows Domain Forest (for Outlook "push-mail") for this the windows server needs to be its own DNS server. We are also planning to host sites on the windows server (no control panel). Is there any way that I can allow cPanel to use Windows DNS as the new "cluster" and update/delete/add records of DNS to the windows machines? Same would apply to this question, we are thinking about adding a Directadmin test box, but we want to keep our NS1 and NS2 cluster so they all work with it. Is it possible? What is the feature called if you can't elaborate on it so I can research it?

Hyper-V, Clustering Windows 2008 Servers And Microsoft Licensing
I currently have a server (Xeon 1x5310, 4gb RAM, 4x500gb hdd in Raid 10) with Windows 2003. Now do to a project I'm looking at installing Windows 2008 and upgrading to 2x5310 and 16gb of RAM on my server. I'm looking to create a virtualized test environment for development of a new web service I'm working on. What I'm looking to develop right now is 2 file servers, 3 web servers, 3 MS SQL database servers and 1 DNS server (would prefer but not sure if hardware can handle it. Virtualization would be ideal as this is very similar to what we believe will we have when we launch the service. I have a few questions I'm hoping you might be able to answer: 1) With the upgraded hardware specs, should it be able to handle the load if I assign each virtual entity 1 core with 2gb of RAM each? 2) I would like to create each of the multiple servers in a cluster (ie cluster of webservers) as this is how it will be in production. But, I've never worked with clusters before so: a) where can I learn about clustering windows 2008 servers? b) is this possible to do in a virtualized environment? 3) How does MS work the licensing? I want to have each server running Windows 2008 and 2-3 of them running SQL Server 2005. a) Do they charge extra for each virtualized server? b) Does this mean I have to purchase 3 complete copies of SQL Server or is there a way I can pay a low license fee for use in a non-commercial, non-production environment? 4) Does anyone see any problems with this setup or have any suggestions for me? * I do have money available to spend on a good solution, so if you have suggestions that cost please let me know. I just thought virtualization would be the way to go as the project will be in development for at least a year with no public access. ** I realize that Hyper-V hasn't been released yet (that I know of) so information on it might be limited

I'm sending off about 6 servers off to colo soon, and looking for a basic switch.. I would prefer it to be a Cisco switch (but doesnt have to be, just that i'm used to IOS), not used. Fairly cheap and nothing overkill. Just going to be pushing 20Mbit/sec. Must haves : vLan capabilities, SNMP, 10/100mbit upink, able to cap ports at non-standard rates (eg. 1mbit/11mbit).

L3 Switch That Does VLANs?
I need a basic L3 switch for maybe 25 mbps that will do hopefully up to 50 VLANs and which will not require me to hire someone to configure it. As much as I like Cisco, that rules them out. The reason I'd like a Layer 3 switch is so that I can run my backups and inter-server transfers without adding to my bandwidth bill. Also, VLANS are a critical requirement as i have a lot of customers with root on their managed servers. So i am looking at HP [gasp] switches. How "easy" is the web-based configuration widget? [I'm an advanced unix admin but networking is a mystery to me.] This is a starter switch and once i have a full cab of servers I'll be able to spend $7K on a pair of 3560s and hire someone to configure them for me ... but until then what can i get to meet my requirements?

Switch Buying
which switches to buy as there are a myriad of options out there and I'm quite frankly a bit lost. After reading through a bunch of posts here as well it looks like most people are leaning towards the Cisco Catalyst or HP ProCurve lines. My requirements are: - min. 24 Ports (4 SFP ports) 10/100/1000 - Layer 3 routing - Low latency is more important than high throughput - Switches will handle a lot of UDP multicasting, thus adequate buffers are important to minimize packet loss due to overflowing buffers - Budget is ~$2k/switch

Switch To VPS
I currently have a dedicated server, which is hosting several websites. I'm happy with the service I'm getting, but I'm trying to save money. I'm paying $120/month for the dedicated server. Spending half of that each month would be great. Right now, the websites are either static websites, or are simple database driven websites with not much traffic. My server load averages are pretty close to 0.01 I would think a VPS would be fine for my needs. However, I may have a site I will host in the future that is database driven and uses Ruby on Rails. It would probably have 10-20 users online at any given time, and maybe several hundred subscribers total. Would a VPS still work in this instance, or should I stick with a dedicated machine?

Router VS Switch
We have a small hosting company (currently 24 racks) that we are expanding to hold 100 racks. We have several 3640 series routers behind a 7200 series router (our edge router) that feed into numerous 2950 switches and 515 & 525 pix firewalls then into the racks with customer supplied switches within the rack. I want to replace all the 3640 and 2950 switches with a 6500 series switch. The only routing we do within the 3640's is subnet routing to the switches which make up individual networks for each customer. My goal is to use the 6500 switch to limit bandwidth for each port feeding a customer and to eliminate all but the 7200 router and the 2950 switches. Does anyone know of a reason or reasons this would not work or if it's just a bad idea. Looking for pro's and con's,

Cisco2960 Switch
I just bought 2 Gbit dedicated bandwidth for me, and my customers. This is the switch the DC gave me. I know it is a 24 port switch, that can handle up to 4 Gbit of bandwidth. And that you can give each port its own dedicated bandwidth. But this is my question. Off this switch can I give metered bandwidth? Like 2000 GB Bandwidth? Also how would I offer unmeterd bandwidth? Like hook up a cheap Linksys up to it and limit the bandwidth to the port that the Linksys is in?

Backend Switch
I was just wondering what switch everyone would recommend for running a back-end network. We plan to push mainly backup and management traffic over this network. The idea is to have an NAS box connected at 1GBit/sec and all of the servers at 100Mbit/sec backing up to that. We currently use Cisco Catalyst 2960's to connect the servers to the front-end so it would make sense to use 2960G's for the back-end to keep the overall management of things simplified. There is of course quite a big price difference between a standard 2960 and a 2960G.

Picking A Switch
one of my clients build out their network but are still green when it comes to the switch market that I decided to get some input :-) Pretty much, we're needing the following: - VLAN support (standard thing) - Per IP accounting (sFlow/netflow) - multiple uplinks and ability to segment? Pretty much, we want to be able to be able to seperate our network to allow for us to have cheaper providers for high bandwidth usage and then the other side for gameservers and things like that. Now, I'm thinking that maybe it would be better to BGP the two and simply separate clients by their IP space. Now, my next question is that sounds pretty straight forward, but can we control BGP on a low number of IP's? Say we have a user with 1 - 2 IP's for a single gameserver, can we control it so say that IP only gets Provider #1 in their transit? I've been checking models of switches and have found both the HP 2848 and the Foundry FES4802. Both are within the same price range which is nice, but the foundry seems to offer IPv6 and layer3.

Switch With BW-graph

I want to be able to get a graph of the monthly BW up/down for each IP, and it could be nice to be able to se how much of my 100mbit line the servers use. It should be reliable so it would not be a weak point in the network and easy to use.

Switch Redundancy
What are the smaller shops doing for switch redundancy? We have all our machines on dual Com Ed feeds but most switches in the $1k-$3k range only have one power supply. We recently had a power strip go flakey and of course the switch was plugged into it. Is the best solution getting two switches and hooking each machine up to both? How hard is that to setup in Linux? I've used keepalived for whole machine failover but not for network failover.

Unsure What To Use For As My Switch
I'm just getting into the world that is colo. I'm going to be setting up 2 machines in my cabinet shortly, neither one having very much traffic at all (maybe 4000 visitors - 100GB traffic - per month between them). Once they are setup, I plan to move 2 more into the cabinet, which I'm currently leasing at another Data Center. These two are higher volume (unsure as far as the number of visitors) but I would guess about 20GB of daily transfer (spiking at about 6.0 Mbps occasionally) between the two of them. The next piece of the puzzle that I need to figure out, is what switch to purchase (and ultimately why). My plan was to use just a 16 port D-Link to begin with, but I'm unsure as to whether or not this will be insufficient.

Invisible Switch
invisible when doing a traceroute. Ok, I have a ProCurve 2900 switch. At the moment, all my servers are just connected to it, no vlans are configured on the switch since I am not selling any dedicated servers. So I just connect my devices to the switch and configure them with one of the free IPs available. But, when I run a traceroute, I dont see the switch. Not really an issue that I am concerned about, but I'm more curious than anything.

Switch Choices
I've searched on this site, and there are quite a few posts about selecting appropriate switches for different applications. I'm looking for similar advice from the networking gurus out there. I need a reliable switch (probably only need L2?) to connect 6 Sun Fire X2100 servers in a colo rack. Each server has two network ports. I use one for the public addresses; and the second for a private, management network. In an ideal world, I'd love to run the servers diskless, and consolidate all the drives into a separate, dedicated storage server running Solaris and ZFS. I'm guessing that I would need GigE ports on the switch to get maximum performance out of an iSCSI SAN? That might push the price much higher though. I'm currently running 3 of these servers with a Catalyst 2912XL, and I've been very pleased with the reliability of this switch (and it was super cheap on ebay). It's setup with two VLANs (one for the public net, one for the private net). The thing has been running for about a year without a single reboot. While Cisco seems to be the favored brand, I'm considering a few other choices as well... Foundry EdgeIron 2402CF Extreme Network Summit 200-24 Cisco Catalyst 2950-24 Cisco Catalyst 2960-24 Just wondering what the pros and cons of these various units might be. And do I need a separate (GigE?) network for iSCSI, or could it function on the same interfaces used for the management (and MySQL) traffic?

IP Limiting On A Switch
IP limiting on switch port. Where a switch is set to only allow a specific IPs to be streamed from the servers connected to it. Any server set with another IP even with a same C class range will be dropped or ignored. eg. Switch : with a set IP of 111.111.111.1 - 10 Any server that tries to set an IP of 111.111.111.11 and above will not get connected. Currently I am using 3com SuperStack III 3250 switches. but after reading the manual and also searching on the net, I am a little lost on ideas....

Managed Switch
I'd like to know which switch brand/model you would advice me to do the following : - 48 ports 10/100 - Limit traffic per port - Ability to makes MRTG stats per port using SNMP - Gigabit uplink is a plus while you know the budget of this should be something around 200 to 500$; I am also interested in medium quality switches, so I guess Cisco and such brands should be avoided for my budget.

And am trying to move a large number of files and it just takes too long. My Question is who has fast ftp for People in Ohio? (NE). Also Dreamhost says with their unlimited you can have 50GB for backup. Really i could use 50Gb to back up my info? With that i could in theory cancel my amazon S3 jungledisk (But i doubt anything would be as fast as jungledisk.)

Switch And Data Venting
Recently, we expanded our space with Switch and Data. They didn't have any cabinets physically next to our current ones, so they offered us cross-connects with an NRC only (no MRC) between our own existing space and the new. (Of course I didn't get this on the same 1-year contract as everything else.) After a few months, I noticed they've been billing us for them, so I contact our rep. Apparently she "wasn't authorized" to do that, so after some heated emails they're removing the charges to date and charging us the MRCs moving forward. It's over $7K a year for the two. They also upped their minimum labor charge, so it now cost $175 to have them sign for a FedEx or have any other minimal amount of work done. We have an on-site employee who manages our equipment, but obviously he won't sit there waiting for UPS/FedEx a few times a month. Two instances last month there were employees on site and it cost an hour of labor for them to physically walk two packages onto the data center floor from the front office. While installing another cross-connect recently, they knocked our patch panel just enough to disconnect a fiber. They charged us for the two hours it took to debug and rectify the issue. The on-site techs assertion was that it must have been "loose" to begin with - of course it worked fine for 6 months prior. You would think a sales person would side with you in a case like this, but they wouldn't budge. They must be really keen on driving away customers. What really sucks is the connectivity available at their facilities is so amazing. I would brush it off as the cost of doing business if they were up front on all these things, but they aren't.

What Will Make You Switch Hosts
If your happy with your current hosting provider why change? Maybe you have found a better deal, but is it really worth it to switch to save a few bucks if your happy, I would say no. What if you have noticed major changes in loading time? What if there has been downtime? What if they dont offer the support you need when you need it. If a hosts changes prices on you?

Should I Switch From Windows To Linux
I am not a technical person but am a sole business owner trying to muddle through this. Your help is much appreciated. I want to combine my www with non www site via a 301 permanent redirect. My goal is to combine my page links in hopes that one day Google will increase my page ranking (which is sadly at 1). I don't think that combining them now (about 100 links each) will do anything to my PR but I do want it set up properly now so it's all set. I have been reading all over the Internet on how to do this and working with my site host: Go Daddy. It's been a struggle but I believe that because I'm on a shared Windows server, there is not a solution for me to do this. If I was on a dedicated server I could do it through IIS but that option is not available for those on a shared server. A posting I read from someone else who is also on Go Daddy (on another site) said he went and transferred his site from Windows to Linux and then was able to do the 301 redirect. I don't understand what Windows, Linux, Apache, etc. means. My site is very simple: advertisingspark dot com. Can I transfer to Linux? Should I transfer to Linux or Apache? Is this going to be too complicated for me? Or should I have someone else host my site? My annual fee is due in about a month so it's a good time for me to switch if I should. I don't know if it is relevant but I had a website designer create my site and then I edit it myself in a cheap editing tool. I know basic HTML (I'm sure my designer is cringing!) If I switch to Linux or Apache, can I no longer work in html files?

Data Center Switch
Would a consumer Gigabit switch work in the DC for sharing a connection with like 2-3 servers? Obviously, I am not looking for features like bandwidth control and other pluses from enterprise switches....

Switch A Website To Another Server
My hosting company has been great. The server is in a secure place, but I can't help but wonder: what if a bomb hits there or something? What could I do? With all the websites I host, I would like to see what kind of backup plan there could be. Is there a way to have a server on the other side of the world automatically be switched to if it were to go down?

Dual PSU Switch
Does anyone know of a fairly low cost dual power supply Ethernet switch. Nothing fancy is needed, just a simple 12-24 port switch that has redundant power features. Our router and four little servers all have dual power supplies. Two big UPS units in a redundant setup would work great for us. The only weak link in the setup is the switch.
