Yeah, thanks everyone for your responses. I'll most likely be testing a |
| 2 |
bunch of these in the coming weeks and months to find the one I think |

The cluster list also had some mention about GlusterFS that I'm curious |

Also, I did some more research on the MySQL end of things and have |
| 9 |
decided that replication is the way to go. Thanks Hanni for that nice |
