Hi Kevin I do not want to be a downer on Clustering, as I quite like MS Clustering, but the reason why I would be looking at Clustering the Master is due to "High Availability" of that application. However, please bear in mind that if you have 1000+ jobs running while the Master Cluster fails ove

I agree with Martin here on them "working" in some cases. I have and EMC Clariion with 45 1TB SATA disks and I can tell you it screams. I routienly see over 600MB/S out of the array wjile destaging. Sure, I have a larger and potentially "smarter" array than some but to say they don't ever work
