What are some points I should consider when deciding if a horizontal upgrade strategy is appropriate, and if so, which tier is the most suitable to upgrade first?
You should consider the following points when deciding on a horizontal upgrade: • Your application is on a large number of Web servers. A prerequisite for the deployment of a Visual Basic .NET application is that the common language runtime (CLR) must be installed on each Web server. If your application is deployed on a large number of servers in a Web farm configuration, this can be an issue. If you have relatively fewer servers in middle tiers than in other tiers, consider using a horizontal upgrade and then upgrading the middle tier first. • Your application uses a large amount of shared code. If your Visual Basic application uses a large number of DLLs or other types of shared code, constants, or custom libraries in the middle tier, choosing to upgrade this tier first can help you manage the upgrade of your entire application. However, if you do this, you will destabilize a large number of components that use the shared code and thereby affect the testing process. • Your applicatio
