Description: The expert guide to high availability clusters for HP-UX, Linux, Windows 2000, and Windows NT.The start-to-finish guide to high availability clusteringIncludes ways to maximize enterprise application availability--and minimize costCompletely updated for the latest tools, technologies, and applicationsDescribes high availability solutions in HP-UX, Linux, and Windows environmentsBusiness-critical applications require higher availability than ever before-and today's high availability systems rely on clustering as a key strategy for maximizing reliability and robustness. In "Clusters for High Availability, Second Edition," Peter S. Weygant covers all three pillars of successful high availability computing: robust technology, sound computing processes, and proactive support. He addresses every aspect of delivering high availability clustered systems: terminology, architecture, implementation, management, monitoring, and beyond. Coverage includes: Fundamental concepts and components associated with high availability clusteringA 14-step checklist for assessing your high availability needsClustering techniques for HP-UX, Windows 2000, Windows NT, and LinuxClustered storage, backup, and network infrastructure solutionsPractical techniques for building "disaster-tolerant" systemsState-of-the-art cluster replication, monitoring, and management toolsWeygant presents several brand-new case studies, including an Oracle Parallel Server application providing 5nines:5minutes protection; a high availability brokerage application built using a continental cluster; and a storage areanetwork solution designed for an Internet service provider. The book also contains an extensive glossary. If you're responsible for delivering high availability, "Clusters for High Availability" is the comprehensive, up-to-date bl
