QuestionDistributed systems design Pin
NicoJS21-Sep-08 22:18
NicoJS21-Sep-08 22:18 
I need some pointers please. My friend Google overwhelms me when I ask "Distributed systems designs" or something similar.

We need to design a system with a 1000+ smallish and geographically distributed sites, each with a significant percentage of local, but volatile data. Think a distribution company with 1000+ outlets with "virtual stock" (thats voucher numbers which have real value). Each outlet has its own stock levels and customers but needs to know in realtime info of customers at other sites and global stock levels and goodness knows what else.

A somewhat reliable VPN is available to all sites.

Options:

1. I do not think this is a scenario where we occasionally update a central server with all local transactions (aggregate or even detailed), the data is too shared and needs to be near realtime for a significant proportion of the time.
2. Having one Hulk-sized setup centrally should work fine, but you cannot bring each site to a halt when there is a problem at the central server or the line to it has gone bad.
3. My idea is to use the one central hulk-sized server when all goes well, thereby avoiding all the distributed complexities (most of the time), but to switch over to a local DB when the line or central server goes bad, so that at least a significant proportion of transactions can continue.

Is Microsoft's Dryad any good here ?

Thanks in advance
