Cluster Overview
As traditional clustering technology has moved into the open systems of
client/server computing, Compaq has provided innovative, customer-focused
solutions. The PDC/O2000 moves client/server computing one step closer to
the capabilities found in expensive, proprietary cluster solutions, at a fraction
of the cost.
The PDC/O2000 combines the popular Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced
Server operating system and the industry-leading Oracle8i Parallel Server with
award-winning Compaq ProLiant servers and shared storage subsystems.
Together, these hardware and software components provide improved
performance through a truly scalable parallel application and improved
availability using clustering software that rapidly recovers from detectable
faults. These components also provide improved availability through
concurrent multinode database access using Oracle8i Parallel Server.
