Trying to find out why people use virtual servers for
realservers
One person here (forget who) said that it was cheaper to
have one big server than to have the same server capacity in
single machines.
The next question then is why don't you have the big server
which is currently split into 84 realservers as just one big
realserver? If you need failover (do virtual servers fail?)
why not just 5 machines (enough that you'll only loose 20%
on failure)?
Thanks Joe
