Dual server

Post by abelaguilar » Sun Jul 12, 2009 11:54 pm

Anyone know if its possible to have a dual mirrored server scenario.

If one server goes down becuase of hardware failure the second server takes over for the benefit of 0 down time.

Is this being done?

Check out the Dentaltown Forum - I wouldn't be surprised if Justin Shafer may have described an instillation like that. There are a number of suggestions about 'duplicate servers', I keep a duplicate server at the house, ready to go in a pinch (and relatively recently backed up). Both servers have the same version of Open Dental (this is important)

You can set up a circular replicating servers system. If one server goes down then connect to the other server to continue to work.
