Creating Load-Balanced Clusters

Summary

In this chapter, you examined load-balanced clusters. One of the most difficult aspects of learning clustering, for most people, is that you usually need two to four servers and lots of hardware in order to practice cluster configuration. Thanks to virtualization, this is no longer the case. In the next chapter, you’ll see ways to configure both failover and load-balanced clusters using VM technology. This gives you the ability to learn, test, and demonstrate clustering technologies on a single system. Turn the page to let the fun begin!
