Cluster Servers - Scalable Capacities for High Performance Computing

What is a Cluster Server?

A typical server cluster consists of a network of interconnected nodes that are in mutual exchange. These are often utilised in data centres.

Cluster servers are available in different versions, each of which serves specific purposes. For example, the use of clusters can increase the storage/computing capacity of a system or ensure the high availability of a service.

Cluster servers and their advantages in different application areas

Depending on the environment in which cluster servers are used, they take on different functions. By its very nature, a cluster can easily be optimised for various performance characteristics.

With HAPPYWARE you get fully equipped cluster servers for the following applications:

• Load-Balancing ClusterWith the help of a load-balancing cluster, requests and computing processes can be forwarded to the node with the best performance and then in turn be distributed evenly within the cluster. With additional cluster servers or nodes, the entire cluster has more choice in load balancing and can deliver constant performance across multiple accesses.
• High-Availability ClusterA high-availability cluster or HA cluster is also known as a failover cluster. If a node in this cluster fails, the system recognises this and allocates the workload to another server within the network. By expanding failover clusters with additional cluster servers, the services remain available even if one or more nodes fail.
• Storage ClusterClustering can bring enormous efficiency gains in data storage and delivery. Opt for redundant storage of data in RAID mode or combine several storage media in JBOD mode as a storage pool via the cluster server. With our clusters, you can scale the storage capacities of your company practically any way you like.
• Virtualisation ClusterTake advantage of virtualisation with hypervisors such as VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V. Configure virtual machines exactly as you need them, and use our server solutions to ensure high availability of your applications at every node by means of appropriate failover within the cluster.
• High-Performance Computing ClusterWhen clustering in the HPC area, the system subdivides complex work processes into many sub-tasks and then directs them to the individual nodes of the cluster. Use our cluster servers to manage a wide variety of computing processes or data processing even more efficiently and quickly.
• You will find high-quality hardware for every area of application at HAPPYWARE.We have the right hardware to provide you with individually configured cluster servers for each application. We offer you high-quality and perfectly matched hardware, from cluster solutions for small businesses to the complete technical equipment of a server farm.
