Question

CF 9 Enterprise vs Standard Edition

We have a webserver/computer and a separate application server/computer with a firewall inbetween. CF 9 will be installed on the application server. IIS/website on the webserver.

Is this considered a "clustered" environment so we will need the enterprise version or will the standard version work?

Thanks!

    It sounds like you only intend to run one instance of ColdFusion on one of those servers.

    If that is true then Standard should be fine.  You can cluster as many web servers as you like in front of ColdFusion with standard.  You only need Enterprise if you plan to have multiple instances of ColdFusion running on a single server.  One benifit of this configuration is the ability to clustor these instances together for load share and|or fail over effects.  If you plan to run multiple machines with ColdFusion on them then you need multiple licenses of either Standard or Enterprise.

    Thanks!  This is what I needed to know.  Documentation gets a little confusing...
