| Abstract | This thesis takes an example of the modern type of server cluster and weighs the pros and cons of acquisition of such implementation. The basic information to understand such arrangement have been gathered from the internet sources. The information providing views onto the case study environment have been gathered from personal interviews of the administrative personnel of this specific environment. Part of the information comes from the documents concerning the environment management and development. When joining the information from these separate sources together one can see some discrepancy between the theory and practice in the case study environment. The implementations seem to be deficient in some parts and the strategic planning seems to be too cursory. The detailed planning considering the whole system is missing. Therefore this thesis illustrates how clustering solution could improve the whole system performance by providing better facilities for some parts of the system and thus taking the extra load off the other parts of the system. |
