Cost of setting up a load balanced cluster?
I dont have much knowledge in this area and was wondering if you could answer a few of my questions or set me in the right direction to research it. Ive read a few documents on the beowulf cluster, but im not sure if that is the propper solution for the application im looking to use. I need a cluster/load balanced solution for low latency applications. Some of the questions I need answered are:1. Can I purchase theese pre-setup. If so where?
2. What knowledge is needed to maintain them?
3. What am I looking at price wise for 3-4 nodes and the load balancing hardware. Also how scalable are they?
Thank you for the help.
