Deploying Breeze to your organization 59
If you are installing Breeze in large organizations where there may be more demands on system
resources, you might consider the following strategies:
•
Clustering Breeze Servers
Creating a cluster of servers lets you distribute end-user traffic across multiple servers. Use this
configuration if you have many users and are concerned about the load on a single server, or
when you want to have more than one server as a redundant system, in case a single server
experiences hardware failure.
In addition to distributing the workload, clustering Breeze Servers also creates failover that
prevents loss of service and data if any server in the cluster fails.
•
Separating the Breeze database from Breeze Server
In a Breeze cluster, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 must be identified as the database engine and
installed on a separate server that all computers in the cluster hosting Breeze can access.
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 for the Breeze database must be installed in mixed mode. This
configurations allows you to use either SQL or Windows authentication. Breeze supports SQL
authentication.
For Breeze single-server installations, you can install SQL Server and place the Breeze database
on a separate computer from Breeze Server. Doing so lets you create more stringent and secure
backup and redundancy procedures for the database.
DNS configuration guidelines
The following guidelines can help you set up your network and Domain Name Service (DNS)
for Breeze:
•
Static IP addresses
You cannot access Breeze content or Meetings by using an IP address in the URL line. The
Breeze server must have a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and that name must appear in
the URL. Unlike many websites and systems that let you access their content by entering either
a URL, such as www.search.com, or an IP address, such as 66.252.27.254, you must set up a
FQDN for your Breeze server and map that name to the proper IP address by using either a
DNS server or a hosts file.
