Hi,

Looking to install Alfresco across a multiple site environment across different areas in our lan with clustering.

Looking at:
    No of MySQL clustered datanodes
    2 * Alfresco Application Servers
    Running on VmWare for highavailability
Which is the best flavor of Linux for performance and / or implications for Windows server install.

Also another quick question:
Does Alfresco copy the content from the system into a content store area.




Thanks,

Sounds somewhat newish …

Lots of faq' s on Ubuntu/Alfresco …

Windows … blah blah …. not a fan … Ubuntu runs great in a virtualized environment. Currently I have a KVM (kernel Virtual machine) setup with 4 vm's running - 1 server is running fog (cloning) the other is running alfresco in a dev environment, 1 Ubuntu workstation, and 1 xp workstation

If you're a tinkerer and looking to kill some time and sweat alot … go with slackware Ha! …


But if budget isn't a constraint … grab a dell 810 box with 4 cpu's and say 16gig of ram and then run 12 vm's on it …


there's alot of questions you have to ask yourself before you can truly answer this question …

How many users are you going to be having access alfresco at each location? Do you truly require multiple nodes? or can you just create a local cluster with a high avail failover setup?

anyways i'm rambling now

In the end I went with Centos 5.5 on VMware ESX Vsphere server.  Its currently being worked on and customised and i'm going to monitor performance and may change the config at a later date…

Totally off question but our backups are sorted through VMware but how do you backup your MySQL data?

The clustering option was a bit too out there to manage with one system manager.

Thinking of this + percona xtrabackup and VMware Snapshots to SAN drive.
