Chapter 12. Introduction to Business Continuity Clustering

Having a high-availability cluster is a good thing to prevent disasters from causing major problems with the continuity of your business. Sometimes, however, one cluster is not enough. What if, for example, a flood or an earthquake wipes out an entire site? In that case an ordinary cluster won’t help you. Especially for these kinds of situations, Novell has launched the Business Continuity Clustering (BCC) solution. This solution provides a true cluster of clusters. In this chapter BCC is introduced from a high-level overview perspective.
