DESCRIPTION
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/S100 is a two node
cluster solution which provides high availability for
applications and data in a business- critical
environment.
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/S100 takes full
advantage of Compaq industry-leading server
products and SCSI-based storage systems in
conjunction with Compaq SMART-2 Array
controllers for hardware RAID. The Compaq
ProLiant Cluster/S100 utilizes the proven technology
inherent in the Recovery Server Option (RSO) switch
along with Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS)
software and Compaq enabling software to provide
this high availability cluster solution.
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/S100 Kit provides
the essential software, cabling and documentation
components required to cluster and manage a wide
range of servers, with SMART-2 Array controllers
and external storage systems in a highly available
configuration, managed by MSCS (ordered
separately).
STANDARD FEATURES
High Availability at a Minimum Cost
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/S100 provides high
availability for applications and data in a business-
critical environment. Because it is built from
industry-standard components, The Compaq ProLiant
Cluster/S100 can be implemented at a much lower
cost than traditional proprietary cluster solutions
without compromising availability. The Compaq
ProLiant Cluster/S100 utilizes Compaq industry-
leading servers, reliable Compaq ProLiant Storage
Systems, proven RSO switches, along with industry-
standard cluster management software to provide an
integrated high availability solution.
Investment Protection
Both existing and new Compaq servers and storage
systems are certified in the Compaq ProLiant
Cluster/S100 configurations. This means that
customers can achieve high availability systems
through clusters which are assembled using their
existing servers, storage and SMART-2 Array
controllers and a mix of old and new servers.
Integrated Solutions
Compaq ProLiant Clusters integrate hardware and
software to provide a total solution for business-
critical environments. Compaq servers, interconnect,
ProLiant Storage Systems, Microsoft and Compaq
software, and Compaq integration documentation
have all been thoroughly tested in cluster
configurations. Compaq’s close relationship with
application partners has resulted in the development
Integrated Solutions
(cont’d)
of cluster applications Technotes to assist in the rapid
deployment of major business applications and
database products on Compaq ProLiant Clusters.
Cluster Management
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/S100 configurations
include Compaq Setup Utility software to enable
rapid installation and cluster verification,
configuration and deployment throughout the
Enterprise.
