Cluster Computing - gaining resilience and scalability without the costs

In this paper we will describe the nuances of clusterbased technologies and the challenges in making clusters easier and simpler to work with (more like an SMP-based approach). Finally, we will conclude by considering how Waratek, a newcomer to the market, has succeeded in delivering a solution that delivers the performance and reliability of SMP, that leverages clusters of low-cost x86 server hardware, but without the administration, management and other challenges that are traditionally associated with cluster computing.
