Oracle has announced that Oracle Failsafe 2.0 is available for Oracle7 customers at no extra cost. It provides “active/active” database failover on MSCS clusters (for example, can run on both servers at the same time, and either can failover to the other server in the event of an application or server failure). Does Tandem NonStop SQL/MX use MSCS? Tandem NonStop SQL/MX uses MSCS clustering services when running on a two-server cluster. NonStop SQL/MX uses its own single-application clustering services when running on a cluster with more than two servers. Customers who want high availability plus database scalability up to the performance provided by two high-end SMP servers, will benefit by running NonStop SQL/MX on MSCS to gain the additional benefits of high availability for other services and applications on the cluster. Customers who require additional scalability would use the built-in single-application cluster services of NonStop SQL/MX, trading off general availability services
