[rt-users] RT and mySQL cluster?

[Eric Dropps]

You can always just use MySQL replication to keep a hot backup of the DB
on another server/site.  This is what we do, and it works out pretty well.
Failover isn't automated in any fashion, but in theory would just be a
config change to point to the new DB server.

Thanks all for the quick answers.

In terms of sizing, we could have several thousands (max = 10,000; more
realistically 3,000) tickets submissions within a day. They will not be
nicely spread during the day. Some hours might be a lot busier than
others. Each ticket will have at least one attachment (about 1 to
3 mb each).

I am just starting to learn about MySQL Cluster, trying to find an
architecture that could be robust enough to minimize data loss in case of
failure. In other words, we do not want to lose hours of submitted tickets
if something bad happens. Likewise, we want to provide continuity of
operations even if a server goes down.

>From what I read in this forum, RT should be fine with the volume assuming
a decent server. My concern is more about robustness.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
