Post subject: Failover

Since a single point of failure is not a good thing, does FirstSpot implement any type of redundancy so that if two boxes were purchased they could either be setup as active/passive failover or even load-balanced?

Is there no answer for this question, or is the question just being ignored?

FirstSpot does not currently have failover built-in. You probably need to do it in the OS level.

We will consider implementing failover in the future release.

This is certainly a weakness. When you say do it at the OS level do you mean use something like RAID?

RAID is certainly one option. One suggestion is that you can put the external SQL (we support MySQL or MS SQL) in RAID and have a "standby" FirstSpot ready. In case there is hardware or other problem in the original FirstSpot, you can manually switch to the standby FirstSpot.
