You need to decide between SolrCloud and non-solrcloud mode. A SolrCloud cluster will need external ZooKeeper instances and will provide failover, replication, sharding and load balancing between replicas automatically. But if your needs are small then you can go with a non-solrcloud cluster as you currently have. Typically people setup a master-slave architecture where writes are sent to the master only and query requests are load balanced between both master and slaves. The downside to this approach is that if you lose the master then writes will fail until you manually bring the master back.
