Open HA Cluster is an open source code base, along with build tools necessary to develop, build, and use the code. It’s a mechanism to communicate and share information about Solaris Cluster and Open HA Cluster, and provides a community-based collaboration platform for adding new cutting-edge features to the code base. The main difference between Open HA Cluster and Solaris Cluster is that Sun offers no formal support for the Open HA Cluster product in either source or binary form. The Solaris Cluster product is branded, tested, maintained, and supported as a Sun product. Future releases of Solaris Cluster could be built from the Open HA Cluster source code, but will be supported in the same manner as current versions of the Solaris Cluster products. However, the intent is to release as much of the existing source code as possible through Open HA Cluster and to direct future development through the HA Cluster community.
