Hi All,
Please excuse my newbee status. We have a web application currently running on a standard LAMP setup. The application is basically a questionnaire. I need to place additional servers in geographically remote locations to eliminate a regional outage as a possible single point of failure.
I understand that MySQL Cluster is not intended for use over the Internet and it's recommended to replicate the clustered servers. If I have to use replication, then what is the advantage of MySQL Cluster over a standard MySQL implementation? I understand the Cluster gives me additional redundancy locally, but what I'm trying to achieve is geographic redundancy. Should I use Cluster for this or stick with the regular MySQL and replicate?
I would appreciate any suggestions on how I might research this and loose my newbee status.
TIA
