TechNet Webcast: Failover Clustering and Quorum in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Storage (Level 300)1

Overview This webcast covers the new cluster storage architecture and describes how the new quorum model works in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise. The presenter explores the new way that how shared storage is managed, how clustering is now totally Storage Area Network (SAN) friendly, how failover clusters arbitrate for disks to determine what to do when things go wrong, and what the other enhancements are. The attendee will learn why deploying Windows Server 2008 failover clusters can be a key win to the SAN infrastructure.

Itanium gets revamped Linux supercomputer software

The move will make it easier for Rocks users to add Itanium systems into clusters that use the other chips, according to Philip Papadopoulos, program director for the San Diego Supercomputing Centre's (SDSC) grid and cluster computing group.

More global demand for networked storage

IDC's study covered storage systems that had at least three disks, the hardware to control them and the cabling to connect them. Networked storage falls into two broad categories: network attached storage (NAS) systems (which function like separate...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
