The Cluster Platform 4500/3 System

The Cluster Platform 4500/3 system provides self-sustained platforms, integrated through the Sun Cluster technology, to support highly available applications. This two-node cluster system with shared, mirrored FC-AL storage can be used to implement a highly available file server, web server, mail server, or Oracle® database server.

Sun Cluster 3.0 provides global file systems, global devices, and scalable services. These features allow independent cluster nodes, running independent Solaris operating environment instances, to run distributed applications while providing client access through a single IP address.

Note –This Cluster platform only provides a basic cluster environment. Data services must be installed and configured by the customer.
