DESCRIPTION
.
.
.
Compaq ProLiant Cluster solutions provide high
.
.
.
.
availability for applications and data in a business-
.
.
.
.
critical environment.
.
.
.
.
.
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100 exploits
.
.
.
Compaq’s industry-leading server products, Compaq
.
.
.
.
Fibre Channel Storage, Ethernet or ServerNet
.
.
.
interconnect and Compaq’s leading installation and
.
.
.
.
systems management utilities.
.
.
.
.
.
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100 utilizes the
.
.
.
.
industry standard Microsoft Cluster Server software
.
.
.
for cluster operation and management.
.
.
.
.
.
Compaq provides a cluster kit which contains the
.
.
.
.
components required to connect two Compaq servers
.
.
.
.
and Compaq Fibre Channel Storage systems together
.
.
.
in a cluster. This cluster kit contains documentation
.
.
.
.
and an interconnect cable.

STANDARD FEATURES
.
.
.
.
.
Maximum Availability, Minimum Cost
.
.
.
Because they are built from industry-standard
.
.
.
.
components, Compaq ProLiant Clusters deliver
.
.
.
.
high levels of application availability at a much
.
.
.
lower cost than traditional, proprietary cluster
.
.
.
.
solutions. The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100
.
.
.
.
utilizes Compaq industry-leading servers, the fast
.
.
.
and reliable Compaq Fibre Channel Storage System,
.
.
.
.
cluster node interconnect options providing 10 Mb/s
.
.
.
.
to 100 MB/s throughput and Compaq installation and
.
.
.
systems management software to provide an
.
.
.
.
integrated high-availability solution.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Investment Protection
.
.
.
.
Both existing and new Compaq servers are certified
.
.
.
.
for Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100 configurations.
.
.
.
This means that customers can build clusters using
.
.
.
.
existing servers, or a mix of old and new servers.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Integrated Solutions
.
.
.
.
Compaq ProLiant Clusters integrate hardware and
.
.
.
software to provide a total solution for business-
.
.
.
.
critical environments. Compaq servers, interconnect
.
.
.
.
options, system management software and
.
.
.
implementation documentation have all been
.
.
.
.
thoroughly tested in cluster configurations. Compaq’s
.
.
.
.
close relationship with application partners has
.
.
.
resulted in the development of cluster application
.
.
.
.

Compaq ProLiant Cluster
Series F Model 100
Sophisticated Cluster Management
Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100 configurations
exploit Compaq SmartStart and Compaq Insight
Manager software to enable rapid installation,
configuration and deployment of clustered
environments throughout the enterprise. Compaq
SmartStart and Compaq Insight Manager are now
“cluster enabled” allowing easy installation and
sophisticated cluster and systems management either
locally or from remote locations.
COMPONENTS

4500, 5000, 5500, 6000, 6500 and 7000 servers are
supported in a cluster. Some server mixes are also
supported. Check www.compaq.com/solutions/
