TurboCluster Server TM Offers First Software-Based Web Server
Clustering for Linux
TurboLinux… today announced the first Linux clustering
application availability and scalability solution for web servers
on Intel and Alpha architecture platforms. TurboCluster Server…
is yet another milestone in making Linux an ‘enterprise-ready’
operating system that can run mission-critical web applications for
corporations. For Net businesses… TurboCluster Server offers for
the first time a low-cost alternative to proprietary and more
expensive Microsoft NT and UNIX cluster solutions.”
” ‘Scalability has been one of the shortcomings of Linux which
has slowed its adoption in the commercial market,’ said Dan
Kusnetzky, International Data Corporation’s Program Director for
operating environments research. ‘Clustering software going beyond
that used to build parallel computing configurations is needed.
TurboLinux is among the first Linux vendors to address this
critical niche in the marketplace.’ “
“Unlike Beowulf clustering systems that are designed for highly
specialized scientific computing applications, TurboCluster Server
delivers clustering technology for Linux servers running
mission-critical web applications in the enterprise. It provides
automated control and distribution of traffic to ensure dependable,
responsive TCP/IP-based services. TurboCluster is currently in beta
at over 200 reference sites…”
