title: Splitting incoming traffic between multiple servers?
body: <p>I currently have a single server (480GB storage and 400mb bandwidth) for a clients project, and we are quickly running out of storage space, as well as bandwidth for when we do hls video streaming using an Nginx server once or twice a week.</p>
  <p>We have considered upgrading to 2 2TB and 1gb bandwidth servers (a bit of future proofing), to be able to store all their data, and to start compensating for the glitchy streams.</p>
  <p>As I am not a systems admin, I don't know much about load balancing and what would be the correct procedure for database and storage, do I clone the contents of one server to the other and split the traffic? Do I dedicate one to database, and another for storage?</p>
  <p>Any help, on what services to use to split traffic and any best practices would be much appreciated</p>
