Downtime is expensive and is easily preventable with a clustered solution. Our Linux Redhat clustering solutions provide redundancy at all levels with no single point of failure.

Types of Redhat clustering available: UKFast provide two types of Linux clustering - high availability clustering and load balancing clusters:

  • High availability clustering: online businesses cannot afford for their site to be unreachable, downtime is costly. High availability clusters provide peace of mind, boosting the uptime of your server solution and keeping downtime to a minimum, minutes rather than hours or even longer.

    • Also known as failover clusters they operate by having redundant (passive) servers which are only online when primary (active) servers fail, thereby taking over the role of your active server. And when the original server is back online, the solution can simply be returned to its original state, providing continuous uptime.

  • Load balancing cluster: load balancers reduce the risk of downtime by spreading the load across all your servers in a cluster so you don't overwhelm a single piece of hardware, and ensures visitors are served more quickly.

    Load balancing of certain services, such as mail or web, is a must for any organisation that needs to service a large client base.

No other operating system offers such a high level of versatility as RedHat Linux, making it perfect for clustering.

The right configuration depends on the needs of your organisation, so contact our Redhat cluster specialists today to discuss your requirements on 0800 458 4545.
