Tuning Microsoft Server Clusters: Guaranteeing High Availability for Business Ne

DELIVER HIGH PERFORMANCE AND AVAILABILITY BY OPTIMIZING RESOURCES

Beyond implementation and configuration, theres tuning. If only it were a matter of watching the needle til it hits the right spot on the dial! But it isnt and thats why youll be glad expert Bob Buchanan shares his tuning skills in this 1-2-3 tutorial. Reducing a daunting task to a fine -- but doable -- art, Buchanan shows you his proven methodology for guaranteeing optimal performance. Tuning Microsoft Server Clusters exposes the nuts and bolts of cluster and end-to-end system optimization.

A CLUSTER IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS CONFIGURATION

Tuning Microsoft Server Clusters gives you:

* An approach that puts optimization in real-life business and technical context

* A proven methodology that shows you how to get more performance and availability without buying more software or hardware

* Step-by-step instructions that go beyond monitoring and management into proactive analysis for cluster and end-to-end system optimization

* Working techniques that identify bottlenecks; unmask degraded configurations; verify reliability and availability; calculate capacity needs; and help you pinpoint needed improvements

* Illustrated examples of solutions that are integrated into your systems operation

* The best way to optimize highly redundant systems

* Tried-and-tested techniques (over 30,000 hours of experience) for locking in benefits in performance, reliability, and maintainability

DON’T JUST BUILD IT AND MANAGE IT -- MAKE IT EARN ITS KEEP!
