  12. High Availability Continuous operation or extremely short interruption in case of failure Clustering Technical architecture of servers, to implement High Availability Fault tolerance NONSTOP availability through high redundancy of components Disaster tolerance Geographically split duplication of configuration to recover from disaster Concept definitions

  13. HP NetServer High Availability Solutions range Fault Tolerance AL4 AL3 Clustering, Failover Availability AL2 Standalone Microsoft Clusters AL1 HP NetServer Assured Availability Solutions RAID Novell NCS NSI Double-Take Vinca StandbyServer AL0 Data Mirroring Cost

  14. Up to 99.9% Microsoft Server Cluster features and benefits Concept – Multiple-server organization with common access to data, and service interconnect link Features(failover mechanism) – After server failure, applications are restarted and users are redirected on a different server, accessing same data Key benefits – Interruption limited to failover time – All servers in cluster are active in normal situation – Protection against hardware and some software faults (when application made cluster-aware) – HP supported configuration, certified by Microsoft

  15. Microsoft Server Cluster two-node architecture Client network Server 2 Server 1 Heartbeat link Shared storage
