The Cluster Platform 4500/3 System
The Cluster Platform 4500/3 system provides self-sustained platforms, integrated
through the Sun Cluster technology, to support highly available applications. This
two-node cluster system with shared, mirrored FC-AL storage can be used to
implement a highly available file server, web server, mail server, or Oracle
®
database
server.
Sun Cluster 3.0 provides global file systems, global devices, and scalable services.
These features allow independent cluster nodes, running independent Solaris
operating environment instances, to run distributed applications while providing
client access through a single IP address.
Note – This Cluster platform only provides a basic cluster environment. Data
services must be installed and configured by the customer.
