|

|
|
the number and duration of unplanned outages and the duration of planned outages,
|
||
|
|
thereby ensuring that your systems, data, and applications are continuously
|

available.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>

<p>The major benefits that clusters can offer your business are:</p>

single database, without having to sign on to individual systems. You can

use a cluster administrative domain to more easily manage resources that are

shared within a cluster. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></dd>
