Sun Cluster 3.2 Aug'07 News: ..Sun is OpenSource#1..
If you haven't been up to date on the latest news regarding Sun's High Availability offerings with Sun Cluster 3.2 .. (even Open Sourcing it !).. I though this would be the perfect opportunity for a quick recap with a few key articles, WP's, and related links ( many of these are specific to Oracle RAC integration with Sun Cluster ) :
* Sun Cluster 3.2 Offers the Strongest Integration with Oracle RAC 10gR2..
> Sun Cluster 3.2 Software: Making Oracle Database 10G R2 RAC Even More Unbreakable
* Sun offers up Solaris Cluster as Open Source Gem : (Network World link)
> Sun will post code to High Availability Clusters community on OpenSolaris.org
In case you didn't know, Sun is actually ranked #1 in terms of SW Contributions to the Open Source community! Even BEFORE the JAVA (OpenJDK) OR Sun Cluster contributions, the European Commission on FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) has reflected that Sun contributes to and participates in more open source projects than any other commercial company, including IBM, RedHat, Novell and HP. See : (page 51) for the breakdown. http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/ict/policy/doc/2006-11-20-flossimpact.pdf
*Sun™ Cluster Oracle 10g Grid Reference Architecture Optimizing Scalability and Performance
*Installation Guide for Solaris Cluster 3.2 Software and Oracle 10g Release 2 RAC
Sun Cluster 3.x is a Best In Class High Availability Suite that offers everything from single node clustering.. all the way up to Global / Geographic Clustering for Disaster Recovery. You can find Sun's external Availability
Suite page at : http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/cluster/index.xml
