Classification: CPC H | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. A computing node in a cluster of computing nodes, comprising:
a processor;
a storage device; and
a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method managing access to a plurality of services from the cluster of computing nodes, the method comprising:
identifying an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the cluster of computing nodes, wherein the IP address provides access to the plurality of services from the cluster of computing nodes to a client device at a client site, wherein a respective computing node comprises a processor for facilitating at least a subset of the plurality of services;
selecting, independently, the computing node for hosting the IP address on behalf of the cluster of computing nodes based on a set of selection criteria;
assigning the IP address to the computing node for the cluster of computing nodes, thereby allowing a request based on the IP address for a respective service of the plurality of services from the cluster of computing nodes to be directed to the computing node; and
facilitating the requested service from the cluster of computing nodes based on the request.
