I have a question.
I am about to create a web service where approximately 100 000 units will connect to. And by units I mean we’re still building these units.

These units will connect to my service via a GPRS (TCP/IP) connection, and I will read data from the port on the socket from these units.

So … how does the web farm (or ARR) route these connections. Is it on a per TCP/IP client connection … ?

Which roles can you install on the same server to have a highly available solution? We have 2 data centres of which one is used as a DR site all on the same subnet. Please can you provide me some advice

Hi Dan,

Web Farm Framework 2.0 is the tool for provisioning and management of the web servers in a web farm. It can be used to install all kinds of software on the web servers in the web farm, for example, it can install IIS and all its modules. WebDeploy is primary used to deploy and synchronize web applications and web content on web servers.

Hi Ruslany,

What’s the difference between Web Deploy and Web Farm Framework 2.0 beta and when would someone use one over the other. Thanks.

Hi Mohsen, I would suggest that you use Web Platform Installer to setup your primary server. It will install all the required components for running .net framework based web sites.

I am trying to get this setup to work but so far no luck. I think the part that I am missing is in setting up the primary server, because I don’t know what components to install just for normaly web sites with .net framwork.

can you please provide me a list of common components that I need to install to get this setup work?

Thanks

It cannot sync custom tools. It can only sync products which are supported in Web PI. You can only sync content from primary server. So if user uploads image on to the secondary server, we cannot sync that to all the servers.

Did you think about sharing content between all the servers?

What about the content is it coppied to each server of just a file share.?

It also can sync custom tools like AspJpeg or Jmail?

What happens if a visitor uploads an image to secondary server with an upload script? How we can sync that?

Yes. You can use a Load Balancing Solution of your choice. When you are setting up the web farm. You have the option to select these servers to participate in ARR load balancing or you can do the setup without it and continue to use other load balancing technologies.
