Global application strategy discussion

[Benson Fung]

Hi all,

I have a question about a global application strategy and would like to seek for suggestion from the experts of all over the world.

Scenario :

Suppose we developed application(whatever web or core java). And this application will be used by different countries. From the infrastructure point of view, I would like to deploy one instance for one country on the same box. However, it will be commented that if the box is down, it will give impact to all the countries. However, if I use one instance on one box for one country, there will have some data integrity of the database.

I am not so sure the common practice of this in the enterprise especially those global organization like some global banks.
It is appreciated if anyone can give suggestions.


Thanks a lot

Benson,
I don't understand the comment about data integrity.

As far as being down, a bank is going to have clones/data replication/etc so it doesn't go down if a single box fails.

Hi

Sorry, I used wrong wordings. Do you mean to clone the entire box with application plus databases into another box for another countries?


Please elaborate. I am new to here.


Thanks
