Develop and submit a project plan including implementation steps for the configuration and implementation of a cluster computing solution to support a mission critical application.
In a project of 4-5 pages, complete the following:
Summarize the mission critical application (i.e. e-mail, Web, or database services) and the cluster computing model to be implemented. The submission should highlight the following:
- How the model that you have selected will minimize downtime and increase performance.
- Your discussion should include hardware to be used and the implementation strategy you will follow to reduce the single points of failure.
- Identify storage connectivity types (Fiber or Ethernet).
- Will your implementation leverage shared storage?
- How have you configured each node to mitigate your risk of having a single point of failure (multiple NIC, HBA cards, internal HD, etc.)?
- Are your node located in same data center, multiple cities etc., and why?
- Create a diagram of your cluster implementation. The diagram should depict the following:
- All nodes of the cluster
- LAN connection
- Storage connection points and all redundant connections
- IP addressing schemes for public and private network connections.
