Summary

As you have seen, the Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server includes two clustering technologies designed to provide fail-over support for critical line-of-business applications—such as databases, messaging systems, and file/print services—and to balance incoming IP traffic among multinode clusters. Building on top of these technologies is the SQL Server clustering capability that places your SQL computing environment in a high availability and reliability level that cannot be achieved on any other Windows operating system.
