Hi AlphaFolks-
Our AlphaServer 400, though it has served us faithfully for almost 4 years,
is becoming woefully inadequate for the kind of web site we wish to host.
A search of Digital/Compaq's web site indicates that adding a second
processor is not an option and that the TruCluster software won't run on an
AlphaServer 400.
What I would love to be able to do is max out our existing server, then
cluster it up with another low-to-mid-range server from Digital. My
questions are:
1) Is this at all possible?
2) If not, is there any possible solution that doesn't involve throwing
away our 400?
3) What kind of processor upgrades are available for 400's?
The 400 was released before "scalability" became a buzzword, but I'd really
like to hear if anyone has any experience with this.
Thanks alot.
