Windows NT Clustering Blueprints

Explain different model of clusters and designs. Good visual diagrams to show different type of clusterings and technologies involved, plus follow-up details on their pros & cons. Excellent topic on SCSI devices. Overall, the book layout the concept of clustering quite nicely; however, you will still need those Microsoft's online documentation on NT clustering to set up your cluster. Since there not too many books out there on NT clustering, I have to give this book 4 stars. Cheer.

The book provides a wonderful introductory overview of clustering architectures. It does, however, provide a detailed look at NT specific clusters. Even the sections of the book that are "NT specific" talk mostely about clusters in general. I gave the book 4 stars because it gives a wonderful overview of clustering technology and does give you a good sence of where NT fits in. But, it really needs to have some discussion that is more specific to NT's implementation.

The Book is very good to get a general idea what the people are talking about when they talk about clusters. The Hardware Part is very good but the part about MSCS is a bit short.
