biztalk server - fault tolerant
|
|
|
| hi All,
we use biztalk server 2002(only messaging) in our very critical
environment. the process is like this: window service get messages and put
in the MSMQ; biztalk pick up from queue; after mapping biztalk sends out to
multiple end point apps. we clustered SQL server, but i am also a little
bit concern about biztalk server itself. I want to add another biztalk box
to guarantee it is available all the time. I try to figure out which ways
to use to achieve this. Through some reading, i can find there are 3 ways
to do this:
1. clustering biztalk itself - like cluster SQL server; 1 active /1 passive
2. add another biztalk server to the group - they are identical and
configure same way
3. warm stand biztalk server - if current die, replace it using warm stand;
there are pros and cons for each one. i'd like to hear what's your opionion
about it. Or are there other ways to do this
appreciate,
jj

| You've hit all three options. Personally, I prefer option 2... you get
better scaling and you get failover. Hard to beat.
