The InterWorx-CP Solution
InterWorx-CP uses a collection of open source components and combines them with the InterWorx-CP API system allowing a single InterWorx-CP box, the Cluster Manager, to control and manage an entire cluster. From the Cluster Manager node you can add and delete nodes from the cluster graphically without ever having to use a shell utility. The Cluster Manager also acts as the main console for account management. Any accounts added on the Manager will instantly be propagated to all InterWorx-CP nodes in the cluster via the InterWorx-CP API subsystem. Adding and deleting nodes and accounts is made simple by use of the InterWorx-CP interface.
Load Balancing
The load balancer, provided by the Linux Virtual Server Project (LVS) is a robust software load balancing solution. LVS has many large installations and is a proven technology. If you're already familiar with LVS you'll be happy to know that you can do any and all configuration for LVS from the command line as you can with most Interworx-CP services. We also provide a clean graphical interface on the Cluster Manager to configure all aspects of the load balancing setup, including RRD graphs so you can track the load balancer as it operates.
Cluster Storage
Interworx clusters use a shared NFS storage mechanism to mitigate any overt data synchronization of data. Asynchronous data synchronization (usually done via rsync) can confuse end-users when using a cluster as data uploaded to one node may not be immediately available on all nodes. The NFS solution provides a synchronous data source where all nodes see exactly the same data at the same time. The shared storage device can be as simple as a single drive, but we highly recommend you use a RAID array for your data storage needs.
Using Cluster Services
The InterWorx-CP clustering solution makes a cluster of servers act as a single, virtual server. This is best conveyed by using basic services such as IMAP, POP3, SSH, etc. You can SSH to any of the clustered nodes, edit files and the entire cluster instantly sees the change. If you need to hand edit a PHP script via SSH every apache instance on every node will process the change as soon as you save the file. This is also true for POP3 and IMAP. You can check POP3 e-mail from any node and you will get the same result. This allows for easy load balancing of services beyond HTTP and HTTPS.
