Hi All,
We are having a web farm which hosts multiple ASP.Net applications. We typically have 4 servers on the farm.
The dilemma which i am having is in terms of capacity issue of the farm. Lets say i have currently got 200 apps in total. Should I deploy all 200 apps on all 4 servers (i.e. all the servers in the farm are identical) or should i split the applications between 2 sets of server and create 2 smaller farms so that i can then manage the application based on its criticality and usage etc.
Any best practices in this area would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Rauts
