Chandrashekar NM:
Would it be possible to host Liferay in
clustering mode with different nodes in different region of Cloud
environment like AWS or Azure?
For example: One node of Liferay
in Frankfurt region and another in Mumbai region and still the
Liferay servers are clustered together.
If possible, would this type of configuration serve the users
accessing the portal from nearer locations resulting in better performance.
Geographically distributed clusters are still a hard problem, given
that no significant improvements have been made in the development of
speed-of-light. (no pun intended)
The way Liferay's architecture works, it's rather hard to have far
spread geographic clusters. If you're just looking for quicker
answering times for different regions, you should look into Content
Delivery Networks - they'll deliver all of the other assets than the
page, and typically result in a good accelleration.
