<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The cluster infrastructure provided as a part
of <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span>, called cluster
resource services, provides resiliency for your critical resources. These
resources can include data, applications, devices, and other resources accessed
by multiple clients. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If a system outage or a site loss occurs, the functions
that are provided on a system within a cluster can be accessed through other
systems that have been defined in the cluster. There are two models in which
this data can be accessed: primary-backup model and peer model. For more details
on cluster resource groups (CRGs) that you can create based on these models,
see <a href="rzaigconceptscrg.htm">Cluster resource group</a>. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
