Summary

This book delivers all the practical guidance NT administrators need to deploy powerful, scalable, reliable clustering with Microsoft "Wolfpack." Starting with the fundamentals of clustering and Microsoft's implementation, NT expert David Libertone walks you through everything you need to get clustering deployed in your enterprise.
