Cluster Server technology keeps your application running when the server is a critical error occurs
When an organization is reliable IT infrastructure resources and downtime is not acceptable for business production, technology deployment, fault-tolerant server as the group is a necessity for companies today. If the server is down, business stops. Therefore, server clustering technology are solutions that must be taken to keep your business running if a non-critical servers.
Clustering
Clustering technology is a fault-tolerant servers in Windows Server 2003 (and later) that are dedicated to running one or more applications by configuring two or more application servers is to provide Fault Tolerance and load balancing. If a server fails, the other server will take over the function of maintaining operational application. This is the concept of fault tolerance for server clustering technology.
In a server cluster technology, each of critical application servers run the same. When one server fails, another server will assume the role automatically. This is the "switching by misconception. If the server has not returned to normal lymph nodes, another server to recognize this condition and the clustering system using the server again. This is a "switching for recovery "concept.
Cluster Server Technology
In Windows 2003 Server and later, There are two types of server technology for fault tolerance: Cluster Server and Network Load Balancing (NLB). The difference between the two technologies is in the types of applications to be executed by the servers and the types and characteristics of the data they use.
Network Load Balancing (NLB)
Network Load Balancing (NLB) is one server redundancy offered by Microsoft, which is easy to install, manage and maintain. You can use the hardware and software available on the servers with no additional software or hardware. You can use the application available in Windows 2003 "transmission network load balancing" to create, manage and monitor the NLBS. NLB especially memory performance of stateless applications, applications that data is not changing all the time.
Feature:
- With the support of all types of Windows 2003 Standard, Enterprise, and types of server data centers
- It can be used to deploy up to 32 network nodes in load balancing each server has a duplicate copy of the application to provide users.
- Full load balancing, both TCP and UDP traffic
- Can be used for Web servers, ISA, VPN, media servers and terminal servers
Network load balancing works by creating a virtual network adapter in each node that represents a single group entity. has separate virtual adapter address IP and MAC address of each different IP addresses given to each server interfaces. Customers will have access to the virtual IP address instead of accessing each of the server nodes.
If a request comes from one client to the IP address of the cluster, all cluster nodes in the system receive and process the message. In each of the nodes in the NLB cluster, NLB service will operate as a filter between the adapter and the computer group TCP / IP. This filter allows for NLB calculation when deciding which cluster node in the system will respond to the request. Each node in the cluster is not necessary for the communication. Each independent node will calculate it and make their own decision whether to answer customers' request or not. The formula calculation shall only be modified if the number of server nodes changes.
Cluster Server
The other types of technology Server fault tolerance is Cluster Server is designed for data applications that are sufficiently large and change frequently and are often called applications state and contain databases including Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange Server, file servers and printers. All cluster nodes in the system are connected to a set data and share a single SCSI bus or SAN (storage area network). All nodes have the same access to the same application and each node can also process the request Customer at all times. You can configure each of the nodes to be active or passive. The active node can receive client requests, while the passive node is idle and according to the "failover" when the active node is failure.
- Similar to the NLB, server group also has the name independent and separate IP address for each of the IP addresses of the nodes. Therefore, when the active node fails, the clients do not need to know what is happening in the system. Customers still access the same name and same IP address because the system is back to normal before using the machine on hold. If many servers clustered node X, node survival will take over the failed server.
- server cluster can only work in edition of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise and Datacenter Edition. Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition can only work for NLB cluster, but no.
- Up up to 8 server nodes to work as failover and failback of each. Failback is configured default, you must set manually or automatically.
- Cluster Server requires special drive, such as Fibre Channel, SCSI shared or SAN. Channel Fiber is a high speed up to 100 Mbps standard network technology using full-duplex communication. But SCSI signal technology used in parallel.
- Normally used for SQL databases, Microsoft Exchange, file and print server, etc.
X Node Clustering
In the X group node can create a minimum of 2 nodes and to the failover node than 8 / failback cluster. For example the X node cluster, you can implement four server nodes in which each server is active and also function as survival node server designated when the server is failure. Each node has direct access to the storage fee. Each server has a primary role and function of survival designee. Each server has special connection link through a dedicated network connection, which is used to detect heartbeats for four nodes. Each node can detect if a fault on the node and the designated node will take over the role of paper.
