Server configuration

Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 server or 2008R2 Standard 64bit

SQL 2012 or 2008 Standard 64bit

Double QuadCore CPU

24GB RAM (minimum)

2 Gigabit net card

1 local disc for System

1 local disc (RAID5 or RAID1-0) for database

1 local disc (RAID5 or RAID1-0) for file system storage and indexes

Description

The main server is running the active SQL server that’s replicated via script on the backup server.

Storage on file system is replicated onto the backup server via an incremental copy.

The Main index server is running the full-text Index service. The indexes are replicated on the Backup index server using the Exalead functionality.

IIS can run in load balancing on the index servers.

The number of index servers as well as IIS servers can be expanded.

All the traffic among the servers is done on the ethernet backbone.

Audio/Video processing can run on the Backup index server. It may impact the performance of IIS.

NOTE: In case of heavy Audio/Video processing a dedicated Back4 server must be added.

Pros:

•Fault tolerant configuration

•Better spread of the load

•Better performance

•IIS and indexes are scalable

Cons:

•More servers to maintain

Apply to all scenarios.
