Data store deployment
- Related topics
This page compares different ways to store data between Magnolia instances. Each option has its pros and cons.
Option 1: Completely separate instances
Each instance has a dedicated database and runs on different physical hardware. This setup is good for zero downtime.
+ Tolerant, highly available, completely redundant
- Duplication of data and cost of resources to keep
them
Option 2: Centralized database server
A centralized database server holds the copies of JCR repositories for each instance. But the instances run in separate virtual machines. This setup is performant but not disaster tolerant.
# Save money on database licenses and maintenance +
[.get]# Retain separate copies of data
- Database is a single point of failure (unless it is
clustered)
- Need to maintain more hardware or VMs
