OVHcloud Backup Agent - Cost estimation #2
Go back to listScaling to three servers, 4.5TB total, shifts the focus from simple storage rates to the impact of per-unit licensing fees. In this setup, each physical server is treated as an independent backup source, which is a common configuration for high-availability clusters. This is the typical configuration for distributed systems and enterprise-grade resilience such as:
- Database Clusters: For example, a primary database with two read-replicas or a sharded database setup requiring synchronized backups.
- Load-Balanced Web Clusters: Hosting high-traffic applications where data is distributed across nodes for redundancy.
- Virtualization Hosts: Using bare metal to run multiple containers or legacy apps that require direct hardware access.
