storage-specific modules are provided by each storage vendor. Storage-specific modules can

Virtual IP Address
Adaptive Computing uses the concept of assigning a unique virtual IP address and network name to
the application, and by doing this, it separates the application from the physical host IP address.
The process of using virtual IP addresses for applications is commonly used in all cluster systems,
and all major operating system releases support the overloading of a network interface card with
multiple IP addresses. The advantage of this apprach is that you can always access the application
through one unique name, no matter where the application is running.
