DRBD is a heartbeat based multi-server failover and replication system. It can be used as a simple two server failover solution, or as a clustered high availability platform.
A presentation on DRBD, with an overview of failover solutions, will present concepts and the normal topologies used with DRBD.
Next, a hands-on system build will be performed on a very simple two server network.
Once DRBD is up and running, a few failover scenarios will be presented with the live demonstration system.
A hands-on workshop, focusing on the practical aspects of normalization and what it means to new database designers and programmers. Also suitable for project managers or business analysts that may not be familiar with data design practices.
