Both Megaupload and The Pirate Bay have recently announced plans to use redundant datacenters in a multi-country approach to eliminate downtime.
Why would a person host their entire company from one location, like AWS US-East?
- true_religion 14y agoIn order to minimize complexity in your set up maybe?

- DrStalker 14y agoWouldn't you have a DB set up in each location with some sort of replication? So there would be DB -> DB log shipping inter-region but everything else would be intra-region.
- jaggederest 14y agoThat can still add up a ton. I was thinking regional sharding where you might end up having records in a different region that are local to 'that region' queried by other regions.
- pyre 14y agoIt depends on your goals. As someone stated the other day in the ThePirateBay thread, their priority is mobility, rather than keeping their setup close-knit.
