Here's a new press release from SCO Group, announcing the availability of a new clustering product for SCO OpenServer 6. It is also supported for UnixWare 7.1.4.
Alert the media: SCO can now "connect multiple servers together as nodes within a single, high-availability, fail-over cluster." Oh my. I certainly hope Linux didn't predictively steal SCO's methods and concepts. Or maybe there is some history in this picture?
****************************
SCO Announces High Availability Clusters for SCO OpenServer 6
SCO OpenServer 6 Customers Benefit From Higher Levels of Service and
Availability
LINDON, Utah, May 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The SCO Group, Inc.
("SCO") (Nasdaq: SCOX), a leading provider of UNIX(R) software technology
for distributed, embedded and network-based systems, today announced the
availability of SCO HA Clusters(TM), a new high availability clustering
product for SCO OpenServer 6. SCO HA Clusters is a flexible, non-stop,
automated, highly available clustering solution that enables SCO OpenServer
6 customers to manage and maintain their critical business applications and
network services through both planned and unplanned downtime. SCO HA
Clusters increases the overall availability of applications and critical
data by connecting multiple servers together as nodes within a single,
high-availability, fail-over cluster.
SCO HA Clusters is available at a low cost as an add-on for SCO
OpenServer 6 providing customers with the tools they need to easily manage
and maintain their critical business functions. The power of SCO HA
Clusters on OpenServer 6 also allows SCO customers to easily achieve
dynamic load balancing, improved fault tolerance and scalability of TCP/IP
based applications and services. Individual servers can also be combined
through SCO HA Clusters into a single cluster, providing highly available
access to critical network resources such as data, applications, network
services, and more.
"While SCO servers are known for their reliability and availability,
SCO customers can now gain the added benefit and assurance of deploying a
reliable and flexible HA clustering solution for their SCO OpenServer
systems," said Erik Hughes, senior director product management, The SCO
Group. "SCO HA Clusters minimizes unexpected downtime, saves businesses
time and money, and boosts overall productivity. SCO HA Clusters provides
businesses with the added peace of mind that their systems will be up and
running around the clock if their main system has a single point of
failure."
SCO HA Clusters is flexible and easily managed. With an easy to use
graphical interface coupled with configurable timeout parameters, SCO HA
Clusters enables businesses to easily fine-tune failover response
sensitivity according to the specific needs of the environment. It is also
compatible with all RDBM systems, stateless applications and storage
architectures in order to easily scale and adapt as the business IT
environment grows and changes over time. It requires no special hardware
beyond that required for the applicable SCO OpenServer 6 operating system.
Additionally, SCO HA Clusters is easily managed by enabling businesses to
manage operations from any active server in the cluster, a
network-connected UNIX or Windows PC, or remotely from any location via a
web browser.
SCO HA Clusters is automated and offers non-stop protection by
automatically performing all aspects of failover in a short amount of time
including dismount and remount of storage, IP address switching, and
application startup. Individual applications can also be separately failed
over without disturbing other applications for faster, more efficient
recovery. More information on SCO HA Clusters can be found at
http://www.sco.com/products/clustering/.
Based on SCO's single certification model, SCO HA Clusters is also
supported for UnixWare 7.1.4, giving UnixWare customers a choice of
clustering solutions, Reliant HA and SCO HA Clusters.
Availability
SCO is now accepting orders for SCO HA Clusters Bundle Packs.
Businesses and organizations interested in licensing or learning more about
SCO HA Clusters can contact a SCO sales representative at 1-800-SCO-UNIX

| ... but Beowulf isn't a high-availability application clustering solution.
Beowulf is a set of technologies for doing high-performance calculations (ie:
how to turn a bunch of cheap PCs/servers into a massively parallel
super-computer). The link you were looking for would have been to the Linux High-Availability project. [ Reply to This | # ]

Knowing what we do about the likely longevity of the entity known as the SCO
Group, one wonders what value a SLA with these jokers would have in the absence
of a respectable third party guarantee.

from IBM to see every version of this clustering product they have worked on
from inception, to see if they have included any Open Source code? They MUST
have since they couldn't have come up with this on their own! ;^)
I only wish I could laugh at this, but SCO is too pitiful.

Not to split hairs but I don't think anyone who follows this case has enough
respect for SCO to use their products. Even if by some miracle they respect SCO,
I don't know any business who would risk letting the letigenous 'so and sos'
through their door. Why not hire a company that won't sue you?
It follows then that most of this, is sort of a waste of time until someone can
look at the software itself to see if it uses any GPL (or other license) stuff?
I hope this reaches someone with a review copy or something.
Their offering might as well be an arsenic-coated spleen constrictor for home
use.[ Reply to This | # ]

| Spin, spin, spin. Let's keep this in perspctive. It looks like they've renamed
another existing product, and the only new news seems to be is that they
finally got it working on their newest OSes.
Once again, somebody
forgot to clean up the garage before parking the new car.
The sco.com
link for HA Clusters is

but it used to be all about Reliant HA:

Yeah,
SCO succeeds IN SPITE OF attempts by GrokHo and other internet cowards and
bashers to perpetually smear the company and its efforts.
Welcome the reality. All of Groklaw's postings in three years will be on a
waste dump somewhere, and SCO will still be chugging along and linus' goons
still be trying to keep copying peoples stuff and playing catchup.[ Reply to This | # ]

But wait! SCO used to sell Linux, so all of their technical people are
contaminated by exposure to that software. They can't come out with any new
software that hasn't been influenced by that exposure - by their own logic as
applied to IBM! Oops. There goes another petard!

They had a clustering product before*
I believe it was called something like Reliant HA (i.e. not that differnet)
The clustering product was even specifically in IBM's patent counterclaim
sights, before IBM dropped the patent counterclaims against SCO's products,
because IBM realized that SCO wasn't selling worthwhile quantities of any of its
products anyway.
* = If this is the same clustering product that SCO had before, why is SCO
hyping it now, and why should we be interested?

Gee, OpenVMS has been doing this for 20 years. Microsoft for a lot less, and
Linux for a while, too. So they are getting to the party rather late.
You don't think they've for copyright violations of Linux code in SCO's code, do
you? After all, as they say, and operating system doesn't just get these types
of features without someone stealing from someone elses code. Or are they only
using the Methods and Concepts, here?[ Reply to This | # ]

Since when did unix get cluster technology? Was it borrowed from Linux? say in
the form of methods and concepts? Or did SCO put linux code into UNIX. This
reminds me of a commercial long ago. Hey you got chocalote in my peanut butter,
you got peanut butter in my chocalote.
