These values are largest customer instances reported to us or used for performance testing. Clustering for load balancing, database tuning and other performance tuning is recommended for instances exceeding these values.
Clustering in PHPKB is the same as clustering in any other web application. There are three parts of the application that can be clustered in order to get a performance boost:
For database clustering you need to use MySQL Cluster version of MySQL. The recommendation for good redundancy would be 2 MySQL Server Nodes, 2 Data Nodes and 1 Management Node. The minimum fully fault tolerant solution would consist of 3 servers with the 2 data nodes and the management node all running on different hosts and with at least 2 MySQL Server nodes running on different hosts from each other.
Web server clustering is reached by creating several (2 or more) nodes and at least 2 balancers that split up incoming requests between nodes.
PHPKB stores all attachments and media files in the file system. You can reduce load by moving these files onto external RAID array.
Whether you are looking for an in-house solution OR a cloud-hosted knowledge management tool, PHPKB knowledge base software offers enterprise-class features with pricing that can fit a small business budget.
