Red Hat’s High Availability Add;On provides on;demand failover services between nodes within

a cluster, making applications highly available. The High Availability Add;On supports up to 16

for virtual guests. The High Availability Add;On also includes

failover support for off;the;shelf applications like Apache,

MySQL, and PostgreSQL.

When using the High Availability Add;On, a highly available

service can fail over from one node to another with no appar;

ent interruption to cluster clients. The High Availability Add;On also ensures data integrity when

one cluster node takes over control of a service from another cluster node. It achieves this by

promptly evicting nodes from the cluster that are deemed to be faulty using a method called

“fencing” that prevents data corruption.

Red Hat’s High Performance Network Add;On should be deployed when low network latency

and high capacity are important. It delivers remote direct memory access over converged

Ethernet (RoCE). Because RoCE bypasses system and kernel calls to place data directly into

remote system memory with less CPU overhead, the High Performance Network add;on is ideal

for high;speed data processing applications, for speeding up cluster locking, or for scaling up

applications on distributed systems without investing in spe;
