Re:Is it wise to have multiple HA/FT for Linux? (Score 1)

If you look under the surface, what there is today, is either the load balancing solution for web serving type environment or peices that go into the enterprise high availability solution but not a complete scalable HA solution - Redhat has only software RAID implementation which is but one of the components to allow resilience from disk failures, Turbocluster is the load balancing solution, like Webdirector. Some of the other packages that support HA for linux, are nowhere near the capabilities IRIS FailSafe would bring to Linux in a very short amount of time and give it a giant leap forward in the enterprise domain. The goal would be to strive for a common HA solution however and yes, to have combined efforts to the extent possible, one of the reasons why we are working in partnership with the Linux community HA leader!
