High Availability Without Clustering



High Availability Without Clustering

Computing systems are being used by increasing numbers of businesses, even the smallest, and quickly become crucial to a company's operations. In an extreme situation, computer malfunction can have a significant effect on business performance. Lost revenue, delayed orders, and dissatisfied customers may result from the loss of a computer's services.

In many cases, businesses buying IBM xSeries and Netfinity servers are turning to clustering technologies to obtain increased system availability. Clustering is a proven and tested way to reduce downtime, but is relatively expensive. In addition, clustered systems require additional software and specialized skills for implementation.

When clustering cannot be justified, IBM xSeries and Netfinity servers offer many features, as either standard or optional components, that help to ensure that the server keeps running when subsystem components fail.

Advanced management features provide warnings and alerts of impending problems, allowing you to take preventative action before the problem affects a server's operation. This book informs you about the availability features available in xSeries and Netfinity servers and tells you how to use them to maximize your server's reliability.
