    2 Servers - Load Balancing

    Before going deep into load-balancing stuff, you should really check your numbers. This is rather simple, you take 3 or 4 cases, like connectivity loss for 2h, 10h, data center destroyed by flooding, hard drive failure. For each case, you evaluate what it means for the number of hours out of...
