SUPERCLUSTER
COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL SOLUTION
TRADITIONAL CLUSTER STANDARDS

• OPERATING SYSTEM
• Developed for specific hardware configuration
  named cluster based on more cooperating
  servers.
• DATABASE
• Like the Operating System, the Database needs the
  ability to be operating inside a cluster
  configuration. Also The Synchronization server,
  updating data between central system and mobile
  peripheral systems, must be supported by a highly
  reliable infrastructure.

• APPLICATION SOFTWARE
• Needs to be designed and developed to be fully
  integrated with highly reliable mechanisms
  offered by the infrastructure.
• SYSTEM MANAGEMENT and MAINTENANCE
• Traditional Clusters, require specifically
  trained technicians and system managers
• This means either expensive technical assistance
  agreements, or growing costs and service
  downtimes.

Its a too demanding solution for SME
