BareBones Rack/Server Design

BareBones Rack/Server Design

The goal if this research is to design a bare bones Server/Rack design using commodity PC components to provide resilient services..

Component Classification

1. Father (Fault Tolerant Critical component) (Active/Active Synchronous)
2. Mother (Highly Available Critical component) (Active / Active Asynchronous Load Balanced)
3. Child Node (Load Balanced / Designed fail / cluster autoscale nodes) ( Active / NIL )
4. Grandparents (Standalone/ Basic Backup and restore)
