Sun Management Center Software - Sun Microsystems Sun Fire V445 Server Administration Manual

With Sun Cluster software installed, other nodes in the cluster will automatically
take over and assume the workload when a node goes down. The software delivers
predictability and fast recovery capabilities through features such as local
application restart, individual application failover, and local network adapter
failover. Sun Cluster software significantly reduces downtime and increases
productivity by helping to ensure continuous service to all users.
The software lets you run both standard and parallel applications on the same
cluster. It supports the dynamic addition or removal of nodes, and enables Sun
servers and storage products to be clustered together in a variety of configurations.
Existing resources are used more efficiently, resulting in additional cost savings.
Sun Cluster software allows nodes to be separated by up to 10 kilometers. This way,
in the event of a disaster in one location, all mission-critical data and services remain
available from the other unaffected locations.
For more information, see the documentation supplied with the Sun Cluster
software.

Sun Management Center Software

Sun Management Center software is an open, extensible system monitoring and
management tool. The software is written in Java and uses Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) to provide enterprise-wide monitoring of Sun servers
and workstations, including their subsystems, components, and peripheral devices.
