Compaq ProLiant Cluster Solutions provide high availability for applications and data in a business-critical environment. The Compaq ProLiant Cluster
HA/F100 is a hardware and software solution designed for any customer installation with significant uptime requirements.
Description
Compaq ProLiant Cluster solutions provide high availability for applications and data in a business-critical environment.
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 utilizes Compaq's industry-leading server products, Compaq Fibre Channel Storage, Ethernet interconnect and
Compaq's leading installation and systems management utilities.
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 utilizes the industry-standard Microsoft Cluster Server software for cluster operation and management.
Compaq provides a cluster kit, which contains the components that are 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.

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 HA/F100 utilizes Compaq industry-leading servers, the fast and reliable
Compaq Fibre Channel Storage System, cluster node interconnect options. Compaq installation and systems management software provide an integrated
high-availability solution.
Investment Protection
Both existing and new Compaq servers are certified for Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 configurations. This means that customers can build clusters
using existing servers, or by mixing old and new servers.
Integrated Solutions
As a secure application serves more customers, the AXL300 Accelerator PCI Card continues to alleviate the performance bottleneck caused by the
compute-intense exponentiation. The AXL300 Accelerator PCI Card can support more than 300 SSL connections per second using 1024-bit RSA keys
with today's standard Web servers. The Compaq AXL300 is also enabled with Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) and with MultiPrimeTM, Compaq's
patented extension to RSA public key cryptography. The product has been tested at more 600 SSL connections per second with CRT and will perform
even faster against MultiPrimeTM-enabled Web server applications.
Multiple AXL300 PCI cards scale linearly and ensure that the secure application server can grow with the needs of the business. The result is a much
more cost-effective solution to alleviate the performance bottleneck of a secure application which in turn ensures that customers do not leave your Web
site prematurely.
Sophisticated Cluster Management
Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 configurations utilize 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. Compaq Cluster
Verification Utility Software is used to verify the cluster configuration that is deployed.

COMPONENTS
Servers
Most models of the ProLiant Servers are supported in a cluster. Some server mixes are also supported. Check http://www.compaq.com/highavailability/
for the latest list of supported servers and server combinations. Note: This Web site is available in English only.
Interconnect
Compaq strongly recommends the use of a private network connection between cluster nodes. An Ethernet crossover cable is included in the Compaq
ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 Kit for this purpose.
Storage
Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 configurations have been certified with Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 and RAID Array 4100 Storage
Systems (RA4000/RA4100), previously know as Fibre Channel Storage Systems, as shared storage. FC- AL switches, Compaq Fabric Switches, and
hubs are supported as the server to storage interconnect; however, a maximum of nine RA4000 or RA4100 Storage Systems per cluster are supported
using the FC-AL switch with the 3 port expansion or the 16 port fabric switch.
Supported Operating Systems
Microsoft NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition (includes Microsoft Cluster Server)
