linuxha-net

Linuxha.net is a generic tool set for helping deploy standard applications in a highly available manner. In summary it allows two separate machines to host the application. Each application is active on a single machine at a time, and if that machine fails, or loses all network connectivity the application is automatically started on the alternative machine. Of course using two machines for providing a single access to a single application may sound expensive. However Linuxha.net does not limit the number of applications that can be run as separate entities on the cluster. Both nodes can be active running application simultaneously providing fail-over facilities for each other. Linuxha.net aims to allow administrators to deploy standard applications very quickly and strives to be easy to setup and manage. It requires no special hardware - just standard PC"s can be used. It does not require any "shared storage" - each machine has a separate copy of the data replicated
