Provides high availability and redundancy for applications and services
in multi-system (clustered) environments. Available as a separately
available layered product for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.
For applications that require maximum uptime, a Red Hat Enterprise
Linux cluster with Red Hat Cluster Suite is the answer. Specifically
designed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Cluster Suite provides
two distinct types of clustering:
 Application/Service Failover - Create n-node server clusters for failover of key applications and services
IP Load Balancing - Load balance incoming IP network requests across a farm of servers
With Red Hat Cluster Suite, applications can be deployed in
high availability configurations so that they are always
operational-bringing "scale-out" capabilities to Enterprise Linux
deployments.
For high-volume open source applications, such as NFS, Samba,
and Apache, Red Hat Cluster Suite provides a complete ready-to-use
failover solution. For most other applications, customers can create
custom failover scripts using provided templates. Red Hat Professional
Services can provide custom Red Hat Cluster Suite deployment services
where required.
