Who should attend: Client-server computing planners and managers; network planners, managers, and designers; Web site and intranet planners.

What you will learn: Tools and techniques used today to ensure 24 x 7 access to mission-critical client-server data.

Networked clients need access to servers' resources, but the servers and the networks that connect clients to them come and go. Just as traditional host-oriented computing gave rise to fault-tolerant servers, networks have given rise to new ways of attaining increased up-time. Topics will include:

	Fault-tolerance and enhanced availability
	Server-and client-based data replication
	Highly-available network topologies
	The impact that transaction processors have on enhanced availability
	The impact of connection-oriented and connectionless technologies on server transitions
	Enhanced availability on the Internet
	Enhanced availability and security

I will also discuss:

	Historical approaches
	Best practices today
	Server replication
	Client-side mirroring
	Customer case studies
