DSpace-Clustering via Puppet, HAProxy and CephFS

Running a DSpace repository in a single all-in-one installation is limited both

in hardware-resources and in maintainability. Therefore the Philipps-University

Marburg implemented a DSpace clustering solution based on an in-house devel-

oped Puppet module, a slightly modified DSpace installation process, HAProxy

and CephFS which allows for customization, horizontal scaling, better perfor-

mance and higher availability. The presentation features the short-comings of

all-in-one installations, the benefits and also the problems of clustering.
