Windows 2000 Cluster Server Guidebook

Start by reviewing Windows 2000's key clustering concepts and architecture,
and the key issues associated with deploying clustering in your enterprise. Walk
through building your cluster -- understanding key options such as dual--NIC
cluster configurations and Fibre Channel--based clusters. Master real--world
cluster configuration in database, messaging, Web and eCommerce applications;
then, learn how to manage clustering from both the Cluster Administrator utility
and the command line.

You'll master powerful cluster optimization techniques, including load
balancing, failovers, and more. Mr. Libertone even provides detailed coverage of
Microsoft's Cluster API and writing cluster--aware software for Windows 2000
environments. If your application needs all the performance and scalability
Windows 2000 can muster, you need clustering -- and you need Windows 2000
Cluster Server Guidebook.
