Module 2: Clustering Key Terms Definition Uses Example

Page 8: Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Clustering Prepared by: Tetsu Nagayama Russ Smith Dale Pena.

Module 2.1: Key Terms Node: Independent computer

system working in a group known as a cluster.

Failover: If one node in a cluster becomes unavailable, another node will pick up the processes.

Page 9: Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Clustering Prepared by: Tetsu Nagayama Russ Smith Dale Pena.

Module 2.2: Definition Multiple PC’s, storage devices, and

redundant connections appear to the outside world as one highly available system.

Use of failover to increase network stability.

Module 2.3: Uses E-commerce applications that handle

heavier workloads and high-priority processes.

Server Clusters provide high availability for applications using failover.

Multiple nodes use Network Load Balancing. NLB balances the load of IP traffic across a set of up to 32 identical servers.

Note: With .Net server, users can set up clusters at different locations.

Page 11: Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Clustering Prepared by: Tetsu Nagayama Russ Smith Dale Pena.

Module 2.4: Example Using NLB to service the HTTP

traffic from the internet.

All client requests are distributed among the servers in the cluster.

Page 12: Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Clustering Prepared by: Tetsu Nagayama Russ Smith Dale Pena.

Example (Cont.) Web servers run

independently. They usually do not share

information. All servers have a copy of

the web page on their local hard disk.

If one server should fail, NLB will distribute the traffic.

Module 3.3: Black & Decker Company Info

Manufacturer of products ranging from power tools and accessories to outdoor power equipment and home cleaning tools

Reasons for using Win2k Advanced Server First-generation site had limited functionality Lower total cost of ownership

Benefits from using Win2k Advanced Server Servers configured with failover clustering Agility to rapidly execute on new IT initiatives

Summary Windows 2000 Advanced Server enhances

systems with stability, reliability, manageability and scalability

Clustering allows multiple computer systems to appear and function as one

Companies use Advanced Server because it provides the best total cost of ownership and price-performance, while still providing enterprise-class scalability and reliability
