Hello,

We are planning an implementation that would be setup as automatic failover in the event of a disaster. We only have two physical servers (Windows 2008 R2 based). What is everyone's suggestion? I read a lot about origin-only cluster and origin-edge clusters. It seems like origin-only cluster would work best for this type of fail over but I'm not sure. We would most likely use Microsoft network load balancer built-in on Windows 2008 R2. We have the option of using remote storage but could also do local storage. The types of streaming would be videos loaded to the server (not live). Let me know any suggestions to achive an automatic failover with two physical systems

    Since you have just two servers at your disposal , i don't think edge-origin cluster would be possible as such.

    But before i proceed what kind of failover are you looking at, are you looking at 24X7 kind of availability when you say failover or are you talking about data being available all the time?

    Now if you are looking at availability , probably you can program your client (or probably your load balancer can do that) to go next origin if first origin is unavailable.

    Also since you are interested only in VOD, you can replicate your media files to different locations , local or remote(UNC paths only), and configure FMS to stream from any one of them.
