Abstract :
The paper discusses performance evaluation of SCO UnixWare NonStop Clusters, which is an extension of UnixWare operating system. The performance evaluation aims at outlining the set of features typical to a good clustering software implementation: availability and failover on one side, and manageability with particular stress on load-balancing and process migration on the other side.
