Hello
I have 3 physical servers.
1 test server and 2 servers used in a cluster.
We were refering to these 3 servers as 1 "pod" to our windows admins. Meaning 1 "pod" serves the test and production needs.
Were looking for a way to refer to a group of physical servers as one entity.
Is there a term more widely used other than "pod"?
Thanks
Dave

... environment?

We named our instances with a sequence number to keep the Development, Staging, and Production servers associated, something like this:
DEV01, DEV02, DEV03,
STG01, STG02, STG03,
PROD01, PROD02, PROD03
So DEV01, STG01, PROD01 would be what you are referring to as a 'pod'.
That doesn't really answer your question though, as I don't think we ever really had a general name for the groups. :unsure:

Thanks - the naming convention for our servers were sj361, sj362, sj363 etc
Then sj362 & sj363 were refered to as SSNT-A cluster - and sj365 & sj366 were SSNT-B cluster
But "cluster" doesn't include the test server - and environment is used with "SQL Server environment" (vs Oracle or Unix environment)
"Pod" caused confusion between departments - I wanted to see if there was an official DBA term for this idea. I think I will end up staying with "Pod".
Thanks

Development Environment, Test Environment, Production Environment?
It doesn't matter if stand alone or cluster - no confusion.
