Mandrake?

[Tom Morgan]

I don't know if this will help but my company is presently using a cluster
box. Compaq cl380. We are not a big company however we are using a homemade
web app that is mission critical to our company.  It has a raid array that
is shared by 2 nodes. We use  a heartbeat software called lifekeeper that
will detect if the active server goes down, if this happens it unmounts
everything on node 1 and mounts it all on node 2. When I tested this it took
approx 2 mins. Anyway that's my take on the cluster boxes.

Well then the fellow that I was talking to must have thought that Linux is
Linux eventhough
its not! So then Mandrake's fine but Mission Critical Linux is in critical
shape..pardon the pun!
So much for someone relating the story correctly to me.

SO from what I read there product was for high-end servers?
(clustering) is this another way of describing redundant servers?
How would this be deployed and why? A large company?
