Is it a big price difference btwn. BigIP and Win2K NLBS? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Ayers, Diane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 5. März 2002 18:09 An: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Betreff: RE: [ActiveDir] Clusters - Good or Bad idea?
We've used both the NT 4.0 WLBS and WIn2K NLBS and we gave both up for a hardware based solution. We went with BigIP. It gave us a better solution with more options.

We are doing this in our current environment. We are using Win2K load balance. We have some clusters and some load balance clusters. Both work great!

Hi All, I am currently specing out a number of new file and printers servers for our HQ with about 700 users (at the moment). I'm considering using W2K Advanced server to cluster machines. My first questions is, is this a good idea? Can you load balance across servers? Where I am coming from is I want the users at the site, to be able to connect to the machine(s) with one name using the same disk array. There could be 4 or more servers in the cluster, if one of the servers fails, the users get moved over to one of the working machines. Also, can it load balances itself across the machines. For expandability, if we find we need more storage or disk capacity, we can just add another server to the cluster or more disk to the external device? Is this possible in a File and Print only environment, or am I living in a dream world?
