"Outstanding book on all aspects of TruClusters! A great resource
for ANY TruCluster system administrator out there."—Kent Ferson, VP
for Tru64 UNIX Engineering, Hewlett-Packard Company
"Clustering is an extremely important technology for any businesses
where 'high availability' is not just a buzzword, it's a necessity.
The authors' experience with this clustering technology is
unmatched. They have a deep understanding of clustering internals
developed over the years since TruCluster technology itself started
with DEC. TruCluster is the most advanced Unix clustering
available, and you need to have someone on your side who has been
through every battle. Keep this book in your pocket; it's the next
best thing to having the authors on your team."—Keith A. Iverson,
VP for IT, Iverson Financial Services Inc.
"This book is a great resource for anyone running, planning, or
even considering a TruCluster system; I wish it had been available
when I was in the middle of setting up our first TruCluster!"
—Christopher K. Davis, Team Leader, Systems Administration,
Whitehead Institute/MIT Center for Genome Research
