    Re: What are the new technologies introduced in Clustering/NLB

    A cluster load balancing or NLB Network Load Balancing allows the implementation of a group (cluster) of servers that will be used randomly cloned, according to the relative burden of different nodes by customers. This service cluster is a distributed application on all nodes in the cluster. The nodes are cloned and they offer the same service. Services Terminal are particularly targeted. NLB allows you to live up to 32 clustered servers and requires Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows 2000 Datacenter.
