Abstract

High availability cluster computing environment attempts to provide high availability to computing services. This paper evaluates building and investigating a highly available computing environment that provides a solution to achieve high availability. A prototype of cluster computing environment is developed in Linux environment to provide a single but highly available point of entry. The cluster of computers run web based application to provide services to HTTP users.
