What is it?
It is our goal to have the RPM application hosted on a server farm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_farm). That means the same RPM deployment is setup across multiple servers.

Why do it?
[edit]
Performance
Active users are divided up among the servers.
[edit]
Reliability
If a server goes down the others can take up the slack.
[edit]
Scalability
To increase capacity we just add more servers.
[edit]
Less downtime
Ideally some updates can be applied seamlessly, one server at a time. We tell a server to stop taking new users and once the users already on it have left, we take it off line and upgrade it.
