Hi there, I choose a different path than the SAN/NAS that involved mirroring using SyncBack. But that's a good pointer for the article from MS.

Hi there,<br />
<br />
I'm looking for a solution that will allow 2 FTP servers to be mirrored such that if one server fails, the other takes over.<br />
<br />
This means that files need to be mirrored between the 2 and the user database needs to be shared. Anyone know of any such products for Windows Server 2003?<br />
<br />
Or any possible solutions that are similar?

FTP Cluster or Failover?

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.
