Extreme Networks: Networking Considerations for Clustered Servers

Overview A cluster can be loosely defined as any two or more servers acting together in a coordinated fashion to deliver a common service, or set of services. These services span an ever-increasing range of functions that impact our lives in myriad ways. And while the specific clustering compute and software elements may vary, the one critical uniting element they all share is the network. This paper provides an overview for IT managers who want to better understand types of clustered environments with a particular emphasis on the networking issues related to them.
