Linux Enterprise Cluster: Build a Highly Available Cluster with Commodity Hardware and Free Software

The Linux Enterprise Cluster explains how to take a number of inexpensive computers with limited resources, place them on a normal computer network, and install free software so that the computers act together like one powerful server. This makes it possible to build a very inexpensive and reliable business system for a small business or a large corporation. The book includes information on how to build a high-availability server pair using the Heartbeat package, how to use the Linux Virtual Server load balancing software, how to configure a reliable printing system in a Linux cluster environment, and how to build a job scheduling system in Linux with no single point of failure.Karl Kopper is the author of 'Linux Enterprise Cluster: Build a Highly Available Cluster with Commodity Hardware and Free Software', published 2005 under ISBN 9781593270360 and ISBN 1593270364.
