Publisher's Synopsis
Server Clusters are being developed by businesses around the world to get maximum reliability from their networks. In a cluster, if one server gets backed up or fails, another will take over and keep the data flowing. Usually first implemented in the organization's most critical systems, network managers struggle to configure them for optimal performance. Microsoft has the lion's share of the applications server market with enterprise penetration greater than 90 per cent. Unlike other books on the subject, Buchanan has written a single-platform (Microsoft) reference, allowing detailed nuts and bolts tuning coverage. The features include: step-by-step information on how to measure, analyze, and optimize clusters; illustrations and examples feature the leading software products from Microsoft; explains how to extend clusters from site to site; and covers tuning best products, tuning methodology for clusters, and cluster infrastructures, and more.
