CLUSTERING TECHNOLOGIES & TRENDS
Milpitas, CA. -- Strategic Focus, a market research and product
evaluation firm based in Milpitas, California announced the release
of a white paper on "Application Servers Clustering Technologies
& Trends."
"We have tried to articulate as clearly as possible the basics of
application server clustering, its goals and architecture," said Mr.
Atar Sen Mittal, vice-president of Technical Services at Strategic
Focus and author of the white paper. "We found a need in the market
where clustering strategies needed to achieve specific goals such as
Scalability, Load Balancing and High Availability was not very well
understood," added Mr. Mittal.
The 17-page white paper takes pains to articulate these
strategies and outline various clustering scenarios such as Web
Clustering, Object Clustering, Web Cache Clustering, JMS clustering
and JDBC Metapools Clustering.
