Delivers continuous availability of core data, applications, and services, and simplifies system administration. Failovers are seamless to the application, and result in improved availability of network services. Scalable Services Sun Cluster 3.0 allows a single application, or series of applications from a service, to run across multiple domains or systems. By adding more domains or systems to the cluster, capacity and continuity are increased. Multiple services can share the cluster, and multiple service instances ensure that the service is maintained in the event of failures.
System administrators can load balance across multiple servers.
This helps deliver high availability to the application services. Minimizes downtime in the event of system failures so that employees, partners, and customers have access to the services they need. Faster Failover Sun Cluster 3.0 provides fast error detection, fast software switch-over, and parallelized application and infrastructure restarts. If a failover does occur, clients might see a brief interruption in service, and in some cases, may need to reconnect after a failover has finished. However, once reconnected, the physical server from which they get their applications and data is transparent.
