Building Highly Available Application Servers: The Network Infrastructure

This paper shows how to use Solid to provide a reliable underpinning for next generation network applications. Solid is designed to take advantage of modern blade-based hardware and hardened operating systems. It ensures data reliability and application availability within any given application tier by providing easy-to-use carrier grade high availability technology. Solid's data distribution technology can be used to automate data movement between tiers to support scalable distributed applications. With its ease of management that supports lights out operation, Solid can dramatically reduce time to market and total cost of ownership for next generation network service applications.
