How will Grouped Servers Function ?

Recommended Posts

Quote from rocket on the Confirmed Server Management Options :-

 
"In addition, we also want to provide passworded servers that will operate on their own shard of the database. This shard could be grouped, so that a group of passworded servers could operate on their own database."

 

So I was wondering how these grouped Servers would work. Are we looking at the possibility to have clusters or MMP running  a set of coordinated computations in parallel.

Allowing us to have 1 instance of the hive and mission being ran across several servers at once with all players connected to the group showing up on each of the grouped servers at once ?

Example 5 servers grouped with 40 players on each would equal 1 cluster of 5 with 5x40 players all on the cluster at once.

 

I doubt it but one can dream.

 

If not how would the grouped servers function ?

Could you not just server hop in the group to gain access to a base area that you cannot do without server hopping ?

 

Unless the servers in a group run in parallel I cant see how it would work.

 

Heres hoping a Dev can answer my layman's questions and shed some light onto this !

You've got some very good questions, It's doubtable, but IF they got that to work, consoles and PC's could possibly play together.

This could almost eliminate server hopping as well
