Abstract:
1. A computer system, comprising: a private communications network linked to a public communications network; a first cluster comprising a set of computing resources, including at least one hardware processor, in a first configuration, wherein the first cluster is communicatively linked to the private communications network; a second cluster comprising a set of computing resources, including at least one hardware processor, in a second configuration, wherein the second cluster is communicatively linked to the private communications network; and a monitoring system to monitor operations of the first cluster and the second cluster for communications problems; wherein the first configuration differs from the second configuration; wherein the first configuration provides a first computing environment to perform a first client task and the second configuration provides a second computing environment to perform a second client task; and wherein the computing resources comprise processing nodes, data storage shared by the processing nodes, and at least one communications network to link the processing nodes to each other and to the data storage; wherein the first cluster establishes communications between the set of computing resources of the first cluster and a first gateway communicatively linked between the first cluster and the private communications network; wherein the second cluster establishes communications among the set of computing resources of the second cluster and a second gateway communicatively linked between the second cluster and the private communications network; wherein communications between the first cluster and the second cluster are isolated; wherein the first cluster is a high performance cluster; and wherein the second cluster is a high performance cluster.
