Hi all,
On a secure network with confidential data, we need to deploy Jira for several small projects (less than 5 users on each). Here are our constraints:
Until today, we had a Jira Server for each project with the lowest tiers (10 users). Now, we have to go to Jira Data Center but it's not possible to buy one Data center for each project.
So my question is: How clustering works ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
>So my question is: How clustering works ?
Clustering is a way to run one thing on many computers, it's main intentions are resilience (lose a node, everything carries one working as far as the users are concerned) and scaling (if you spread the usage over several nodes, you can avoid overloading a server. Most of us use the simple model - every time a new session is started by a user, connect it to the least busy node)
So, your questions:
What you're looking for here is "multi-tenancy". Jira does not support that, other than having one separate instance per tenant. DC can not support that in full. You can get close on the front end, with careful set up of tenants, but some data can leak between them (field names and user ids are the two obvious ones), it's a pig to set up properly and non-existent on the back end.
In short, no. Unless you're going to have (probably a single node) cluster for 500 people for every "tenant", DC is not going to work for you.
Sadly, Cloud would be ideal for you, apart from the "no internet" rule.
Thanks for your answer. So we have to buy DC licences for each of our small projects.
Very bad news
