“SGI’s FailSafe looks like being the first high-availability
clustering for Linux to break cover.”
“The first public demos of the open sourced Linux FailSafe are
expected at the LinuxWorld Expo in August, we gather; the binaries
were made available on request last week, and should be available
on SGI’s site this week.”
“Unlike the current hamper of web server clusters, FailSafe
was designed to host database and TP applications using the
shared-everything model pioneered by DEC in its original
VAXClusters (now TruClusters) – a model adopted by almost everyone
else except Tandem and Microsoft.“
