High Availability: From Luxury to Commonplace Necessity in 10 Years
This session will cover the evolution of high-availability clustering,
from server-centric active-passive paired systems, through larger and more
sophisticated clusters, to wide-area clustering. We'll discuss the
technologies that have enabled the evolution and the current state of
clustering technology. We'll discuss the trend of using clustering as a
service management tool, and the evolution to full data center and
application management.
