First off, I am a Windows guy, my Org's Infrastructure is all Windows, so please bear with me.
Doing some searching on this forum, I found that pretty much everything is installed on an individual server. Is it possible with Sentora to segregate the services? Having a separate DB server with a separate Mail Server; all with Ubuntu of course all while attaching to a separate storage pool? And is it possible to cluster for failover?
I'm not entirely comfortable with a single point of failure
Sentora supports segregation of services like database and mail servers across multiple machines, though it requires manual configuration. However, clustering for failover is not natively supported and would need custom setups using external tools or solutions like load balancers and database replication.
it's entirely feasible to segregate services, set up clustering for failover, and attach to a separate storage pool in an Ubuntu-based Sentora environment. However, it requires careful planning and configuration of the various components, including the clustering tools for high availability.

Sounds great, but is this setup too complex for someone who just wants a simple solution to manage their hosting? If stability is needed, perhaps a simpler solution like load balancing combined with automatic backups would be more accessible than a full clustering setup.
Sounds good, but for simplicity and stability, load balancing with backups might be better than full clustering.
Errors are really hard to control. Sentora does not support a distributed setup in a formal multi-server architecture like cPanel or ISPConfig. It is designed for a single installation environment (all services running
block blast on a single server).
