 | View Full Version : Fail-Over of Servers hopper 07-11-2002, 07:53 PM What are other hosting companies using to provide fail-over and high-availability of customers sites? In shared and managed service offerings? I know hardware load balancers can do it, but they are expensive. Are there any other alternatives?

Thanks apollo 07-12-2002, 05:58 AM consider Cisco CSS web switch... nowadays, they cost less and are rather reliable. There are other companies that offer load balancing/failover as well and they charge less than Cisco.. ps. why don't you look and bid on some LB devices on Ebay.. they are pretty cheap there - just watch out for fraud! seg fault 07-12-2002, 02:12 PM ebay and fraud...those two words look like they were made for each other :D apollo 07-12-2002, 02:42 PM true :) |
