A look at the state of the art in server clustering. nwfusion.com <<Tying together servers with a Fibre Channel pipe may be a better option than clustering, Lewis says. When two servers connected by Fibre Channel are passing data back and forth, they work so fast no back-up operations are needed to duplicate data. If one server crashes, it doesn't matter, because it will have already replicated its data on the other server before it goes down. With the increased use of high-speed Fibre Channel connections and other technologies, clustering is becoming more viable, Floyer says. With Fibre Channel, users can more easily make connections among every disk and server in a cluster system. In addition, there will be new management tools added to cluster offer- ings that will make them more usable in the future, Floyer says. Costs should start dropping, as well.>>
