| 281778 | 2004-10-17 00:57:00 | Well i was gona use Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Exchange 2003, but from reading the microsoft site it looks like you need external storage. I am basicaly trying to have a cluster so that i will never miss an email, or have as much down time as i do now (i have one server). I have only ever use linux for a short time (about 30mins, using Mandrake with KDE) and never went into any of the server side stuff. I guess i could learn how to do it in linux, but i dont like linux much. Daniel |

| 281779 | 2004-10-17 01:03:00 | Some useful stuff here www.techtutorials.info I've got McGraw-Hill's "Windows Server 2003 Clustering And Load Balancing" which is also applicable to 2k, it's a great book & well worth a read. You might pick up a copy on Amazon |

Starting out the learning curve will be steeper, but the Tco overall will benifit you. There are severl options for linux clusters, from pure beowulf to open mosix promiscuios load balancing. You can get Cluster Knoppix with open mosix view as a free download to demo without installing anything, on any HD D. PVM and most of the other clustering S/W is open source, so free. D. |
