So, I've got a modest hosting setup I need to put together, but frankly words like 'quorum' make my head hurt - I'm a web designer and really don't have the skills to put together a solid HA clustered setup - how would I go about finding someone (ideally UK based) who I could hire to do the actual setup of my systems and services?
I've got all the hardware installed and setup to a certain degree - I'm not sure I've got the networking setup right in terms of the right number os NICs and switches for good redundancy etc. I haven't even attempted to setup any clusters etc.
Have got 3x cluster hosting nodes, running a collection of about 10 Hyper V VMs on, then a pair of file servers I want to be clustered together to offer up an SMB 3 share as shared storage for those VMs. Finally I've a control / slave system that is powerful enough to run all the VMs off and act as primary domain controller should everything else fail! The overall system architecture I'm comfortable with, it's the putting into practice that fills me with dread.
If anyone has any thoughts / might be available / might know someone good they can recommend then please get in touch. Am happy to pay someone for their time in order to get it done properly.
Many thanks, Henry
