Cluster Computing - gaining resilience and scalability without the costs

By: Philip Howard
Classification: White Paper
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.
