Clustering
For applications that require maximum uptime, clustering is the answer. Two distinct types of clustering
offered are:
- Application/Service Failover – Automatic transparent failover of key applications and services
eliminates the single point of failure that any one server may present.
- Load Balancing Load
balance incoming network requests across a farm of servers. This allows
your application to scale to demand without requiring expensive server hardware.
With clustering, applications can be deployed in high availability configurations so that they are always
operational bringing "scaleout" capabilities to Enterprise deployments.
For high-volume applications, such as File Sharing and Web services, clustering provides a complete
failover solution. For most other applications, we can create custom failover scripts to execute high
availability.
