What the IT Manager Should Know
Windows
2000® Advanced Server®
6.b.
Application Center Server
Deploying
your Web site using NLB ensures that your site
is ready for deploying Microsoft Application Center
Server, which includes management, monitoring,
and replication features that are ideal complements
for Web server clusters built with NLB. Application
Center Server will also include advanced setup
and management features specifically tailored
to enhance NLB clusters.
Using Cluster Service & NLB Together
Using
both clustering technologies together, you can
create an n-tier e-commerce application
by deploying NLB across a front-end Web server
farm, and clustering back-end line-of-business
applications such as databases with Cluster Service.
This gives you the benefits of near-linear scalability
without server or application-based single points
of failure. Combined with industry-standard best
practices for designing high-availability networking
infrastructures, you can ensure that your Windows
2000-based, Internet-enabled business will be
online all the time and can quickly scaled to
meet demand.
