Clustering and other Big Computer advice needed...
Welp, the time has come where my free hosting service is growing to it's technical limits. I'm starting to chew on several options for where to go from here. Inevitably, I will need some sort of custom solution.
I'm hoping some of you could point to useful information on hosting and cluster technology. Does useful and affordable clustering exist outside of the science field? Ultimately, I'd like to have a solution act as as one big virtual server, where I can add storage and servers at will and have it seamlessly integrate into the system. Anything out there like that?
My main problems are common: storage and processing power. I can no longer have storage and processing in one server, so I'm looking for ideas on how to host the service across servers while maintaining a simplified single administration and user interface.
If you've got ideas, or vendors to point to, feel free to respond here, or pop me an email at brian@250Host.com .
Thanks,
Brian
