SunPlexTM systems and SunTM Cluster 3.0 software offer a premier application service delivery platform. With the Sun Cluster 3.0, custom data services can be created to maximize availability and enhance the horizontal scalability of enterprise applications.

In a recently published book, Sun in-house experts Joseph Bianco, Peter Lees and Kevin Rabito provide an authoritative tutorial and reference guide on building custom data services. Noted as authorities in Sun Cluster programming, the authors review the tools, programming interfaces and features for customizing data services in their book, "SunTM Cluster 3 Programming: Integrating into the SunPlexTM Environment."

Features of the Sun Cluster 3.0 software include integration of the SunPlex system and the SolarisTM Operating System (Solaris OS), continuous availability of the core services, service level management, centralized SunPlex system management, ease of use and disaster recovery.

Sun Cluster 3.0 software provides a single, globally coherent process and resource management view for the multiple nodes of a cluster. The cluster becomes a single managed entity and presents itself and its services to clients as if it were an individual server.

SunPlex systems deliver Global Network and File Services. Data, network and devices are continuously available to all domains in the SunPlex system as well as to applications running on any domain.

Through a series of step-by-step examples, the authors demonstrate how applications can be created to maximize availability and recover efficiently even if a serious failure occurs. The authors also demonstrate how to make existing applications available, scalable and cluster-aware.

This book provides extensive, easy-to-understand code examples, all of which are available for download. A thorough examination of agent development capabilities are presented, from quick basics to advanced techniques.

"(The authors) have a special knowledge and expertise that go beyond internal technical details of replication and recovery," stated David Nelson-Gal, vice president, High-Availability Systems, Sun. "They also have the practical knowledge of how these capabilities are most effectively applied to real-world problems customers face. I have learned a great deal from these individuals over the years and I trust you will as well through the pages of this book."
