Windows 2000 Clustering Technologies
The
Advanced Server Cluster Service and Network Load
Balancing (NLB) technologies can be used independently
or in combination to let you avoid downtime and
protect the information on your network.
A
server cluster is a set of independent servers
(nodes) and connected storage devices that are
managed together. Advanced Server supports two-node
clusters. Clustered servers are physically connected
by cables and are programmatically connected by
cluster software. The servers do not have to be
the same size or have the same configuration.
