There are a number of recommendations for splitting the SkyVault Content Services architecture in a
distributed or clustered environment.
Generally, there are two complementary purposes for distributing or clustering your
installation.
- To achieve redundancy or high availability
- To provide high-performance and/or throughput
When to split: There are a number of indicators to help you decide when to split your
architecture from a single node environment to a distributed node environment. Some of the
indicators to look for include:
- Low disk space
- CPU running out of memory
- High indexing load
How to split: When you have decided to upgrade from a single node environment to a distributed or clustered environment, you must find the most appropriate way to cluster architecture.
