Large caches ...

[Hans-Juergen Schoenig]

We are planning to develop an application on top of a very large in 
memory database. Basically the size of the application will be around 
100 - 400 gb (in memory). We will need a quite large server farm to 
achieve that. The problem now is: What happens if a server fucks up? 
What can we do to make this work 24x7? Rebuilding the cache from scratch 
is not an option as it is too large :(.

How did other folks solve that?

    Best regards,
