Excellent!!
BY what i read, I see the technology I need is a HA Cluster... Altough,
Microsoft has this product Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003,
which is for HPC clusters working with x64 version of windows server..
What software is normally used for HA??.. I would like some microsoft
product, as our customer is partner member if possible...
thanks again..
