Clustering
Today's NT clustering solutions solve one business computing problem: availability. By replicating data, applications, and even entire systems, clustering lets two or more systems watch each other's back and take over the workload (user connections, applications, and services) in case one system fails. This issue will review the types of clustering solutions currently available, categorize clustering solutions, and illustrate what types of business computing scenarios call for clustering.
