CAS in Production... What kind of set up? (hardware, etc...)

[Goodyear, Duran]

Very useful, thanks.
We're a much smaller institution, so our load isn't nearly as bad as
what I expect Rutgers handles.

Duran,

At Rutgers, we had been using Sun V120s.  We recently upgraded
(temporarily) to Sun V240s (borrowed from somewhere else) to handle a
peak web registration period.  However, V240s are EOL, so we're looking
at models that are at least as powerful or more.

We have two machines currently as a primary and secondary (warm) spare.
We're looking into ways to load balance them with a shared ticket store.

In front of our machines we have a CSS which also handles SSL traffic.

Hope that helps.

	What kind of hardware do you run it on?
	What kind of fault tollerance do you have?  (cluster?
Redundancy?
	Hot/cold spare?)

more then

wondering...
	How much?
	
	
	Thanks.
