Clustered Failover Servers
DP Solutions has deployed server clusters for hosting Microsoft® Exchange Email, BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and Microsoft® Mobility. A cluster is two or more servers working together in a coordinated fashion to deliver a common service or set of services. Microsoft® Exchange is a high-performance computing (HPC) application, which lends itself well to deployment on a server cluster.
A cluster allows DP Solutions to keep the enterprise infrastructure constantly working at a consistent, responsive performance level, especially during reasonable peaks in user load. High-availability clustering was once the exclusive domain of mainframe and minicomputer systems. Now high-availability clusters are an option for most mission-critical business applications running in Microsoft® Exchange email.
