Abstract
This paper provides a brief introduction to Solaris Cluster. Solaris Cluster software is a framework that extends the high availability features of Solaris for both SPARC and x64 platforms - it includes Sun Cluster 3.2, Sun Cluster Geographic Edition 3.2, developer tools and support for commercial and open-source applications through Sun Cluster agents.
Sun Java Availability Suite consists of four components: Sun Cluster software, Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Software , Sun Cluster Agents, and Developer Tools. It is an integrated software platform that delivers best-in-class HA to business services, keeping global enterprises running 24X7 through planned maintenance, failures or disasters.
This paper provides a brief introduction to the various cluster configurations supported by Java Availability Suite - single node/local clustering, metro clustering and geographic clustering.

Sun Cluster 3 software supports and complements SAP NetWeaver solutions by delivering improved service levels of SAP applications, while reducing associated costs, easing management and improving the resource utilization of the system.
Sun's application service management philosophy is that IT professionals should be able to focus on managing the service, not the server. The business relationship between Sun Microsystems and Oracle Corporation is key to making this philosophy a reality, and helps ensure that Sun Cluster software and Oracle9i/10g Real Application Clusters (RAC) deliver world-class availability, scalability, manageability, and ease of deployment.
Raising Service Levels, Lowering Costs, & Minimizing Risks
Sun Cluster Support for SWIFTAlliance Access
Customers can now couple SWIFT's leading banking infrastructure software with the predictability and resilience of Sun Cluster.
Sun Cluster 3.x software supports and improves service levels of the MySQL database software. Customers can now match the low cost and versatility of MySQL with the predictability and resilience of deployments on Sun Cluster software.
Sun Cluster 3.1 for the Solaris Operating System (x86 Platform Edition) extends Data Center-class availability, scalability, and performance to x86-based systems. Sun Cluster 3.1 software for the Solaris OS (x86 Platform Edition) is a direct port of Sun Cluster 3.1 software for the Solaris OS (SPARC Platform Edition), providing all of the high-availability features - such as Global File Systems, Global Devices, and Scalable Services - to low-cost Sun x86 systems.
Sun Cluster 3.0 software, the key to building SunPlex systems, takes general-purpose clustering beyond the realm of high availability by adding the simplicity of single system manageability and the potential of seamless scalability.
Sun Java System (formerly Sun ONE), as well as a key element of the SunPlex system platform. Supporting and complementing Siebel Systems' Siebel software, Sun Cluster 3.0 delivers improved service levels for Siebel applications. It also helps reduce associated costs by easing operations and improving the resource utilization of the system.
SunPlex systems are built on powerful Sun products -- including Sun Cluster 3 advanced clustering technology -- and are designed to manage application services for tightly coupled environments. The unique combination of Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) software and SunPlex systems helps improve service levels by making recovery from failure transparent to clients, simplifying management of the entire infrastructure, and providing joint customer support.
