Going for redundancy

Back in December I said that we had started the process of separating out content management (all the work you do in the Jobshout back end, in other words) and the business of publishing pages on the web. The idea is to improve performance and provide a more resilient system. I'm pleased to say that we have now done this and it is now live on www.workstation.co.uk, where it can be tested in a live environment. It has certainly been successful in speeding up performance.

If you want to compare speed of job searching, you can use the "unseparated" system at jobs2.workstation.co.uk.

Ultimately we are aiming for a completely mirrored system which will mean "redundancy". While this may not be a great thing in the world of employment, it is greatly to be desired in computer systems - it means that if one thing fails there's always another to take over.
