“Mission Critical Linux has launched server-clustering software
for enterprise environments that need high-availability and
downtime protection. Dubbed Convolo Cluster, the software allows
two servers to be clustered in a configuration where both servers
are actively operating. Convolo Cluster is platform-independent and
will operate on Intel, SPARC, Alpha or MIPS servers.”

“Convolo Cluster ships with 60-days of remote, proactive
monitoring and includes crash analysis tools that monitor clustered
servers, looking for possible problems. The Convolo Cluster can
operate on systems running Red Hat, TurboLinux, VA Linux, SuSE,
Caldera, Mandrake or Debian Linux.”

“Convolo Cluster uses Mission Critical’s Kimberlite
clustering technology, which the company released under GNU General
Public License earlier this month.
The source code can be
downloaded from Mission Critical’s site.”
