Cluster 1350

The eServer Cluster 1350 is a highly available, scalable system designed to make use of the power, reliability, and extremely low cost of the Linux operating system, along with the power of IBM's Cluster Management Software, CSM. The Cluster 1350 is highly flexible and can be configured to meet the needs of many disparate customers. Using the power of high speed networking and clustering, the Cluster 1350 can meet the needs of the most demanding customers. The eServer Cluster 1350 is designed around any one of seven different Networking Options, each of which is designed with a different workload set in mind.

The latest enhancement to the Cluster 1350 portfolio combines IBM serv- ers with industry-leading hardware, clustering software, and services.
