I would look into http://www.danga.com/mogilefs/ - you'll then be able |
6 |
to use existing hardware (on-site hw and the off-site backup hw) as |
7 |
storage nodes and replication will happen automatically. Only downsides |
8 |
(the way I see it) are the following: |
9 |
|
10 |
1) You need to modify your application to use MogileFS |
11 |
2) You need to take your existing files and store them in MogileFS |
12 |
|
13 |
But the benefits far outweight the downsides if you ask me... |
