Active Roles Server Web Interface - How to Implement High Availability?ARS

Hello!

So, pardon me if this has been asked in a previous post, but how does one go about ensuring high availability for a web interface? I currently have one web interface and one web database, and my business is soon expecting a huge number of users to access the website within a short time span. I was just curious what the best way is to minimize the load on the web interface.  I wasn't sure if it was to create a replicated database, or if it is to create a duplicate website....

Thank you for any help you can provide!

  • Many clients with large environments will do the following for HA:

    Several AR Admin services - all attached to a SQL Always On Availability group

    On the pure web interface side, they will implement several IIS servers hosting the web UI that are load balanced by round-robin DNS's or also commonly, behind an F5 and using a Virtual IP.  Note that you don't HAVE to co-locate the web interface and the Admin service on the same host,

    'Hope this helps.

  • Thank you so much! Is there documentation anywhere that details on how to load balance by round-robin DNS's or the F5/VIrtual IP method you described?
