Shay Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hi, Can the Revive AdServer be installed on multiple servers that work under the same load balancer? Cheers, Shay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Geurts Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hi Shay, Yes, this is actually rather easy to do. You might find this diagram useful: http://www.reviveservers.com/revive-adserver-hosting/revive-adserver-hosting-platform-and-technology/ (Full disclaimer: ReviveServers.com is an independent hosting provider, and a tradename of the company I own) Regards, Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shay Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hi Erik, Thank you for the information. I have a few questions about the diagram: 1. With multiple nodes where would you recomend to store the images/banners? Is there an option to set Revive to work with CDN drive rather with the local drive, eg. amazon S3? 2. How do you sync the nodes with the most up to date version? manually? Thanks, Shay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Ber Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Shay, without going too deep into details, Revive configuration gives you an option to specify both local and remote paths to your images folder. If you choose to host the images on a CDN, most providers (amazon, rackspace) will give you a way to map the drive locally on your master/admin Revive server, where the images are going to be uploaded through the Revive UI. The slave/ad serving nodes only require the remote path to the images folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBlink Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Shay, You can also use something like rsync to sync your images between your master nodes and slave nodes. We use lsyncd with good success on our ubuntu servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoork Hosting Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Absolutely! A single powerful load balancer can handle many web servers. Just make sure you have enough bandwidth available if you tend to serve several million impressions per hour, as bandwidth can easily extend to over 100 Mbps port. Most of our customers at Snoork Hosting host their images on our remote image hosting site, Snoork Images, or simply use a CDN. This generally illuminates the use of another server for serving static content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken2004 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi, i am looking for a load balancer for my network, currently i am hosting it on snoork and have lots of issues like high cpu usage even when i have low traffic, i think there is something wrong with setup also their support this year is not the best so i need to move my network, any good load balancer? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Ber Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Rackspace and Liquidweb provide decent cloud infrastructure with load balancers. It's easy to attach ad server nodes on demand. Your high CPU usage is a completely separate issue though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techs Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Simply setup an nginx Loadbalancer for your Cluster if you are not planing on hardware load balacners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
