    Set-up best options?

    Hello All,

    I have a question that I would like to get opinions on...

    I am looking at setting up Umbraco to run a site that needs to be available at 3 independent locations. I call them independent as they are mobile and sometimes lose net connection via the satellite. This rule outs a central server that they all access. I have been thinking that each location will have a server which is a clone of the main server and the SQL database, but I am not sure how, or what is the best way to ensure that they are all in sync.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

     

    Thanks

    One option is to use load balancing. Check out the videos on umbraco.tv for detailed info on this.

    What exactly is mobile? The server locations?

    Yes, the servers will be moving around.

    I thought that load balancing needed the database to be fix in 1 location and the content stored on the separate locations?

     

    Sorry I am a bit of a n00b at this.

    Yes, you're correct in that this requires you to have a central DB. Sorry, didn't get the requirement of multiple DBs at first glance. Sounds like a tricky situation to be sure. Perhaps this is a job for Courier? http://umbraco.org/products/umbraco-courier

    Courier is partly there, but again that relies on the connection between the main server and the clones being available. It is a start, but the update process needs to be automated, unless this is possible with courier?

    I guess this is a difficult question to answer.

    Can I just check, does courier transfer everything? Database, media, and code?
