ServerNet Clusters
ServerNet Clusters
ServerNet clusters use Expand to provide high-speed interconnections between
servers. Cluster switches route messages between the ServerNet nodes. Coexistence
between networking technologies such as ATM, IP, and FOX and ServerNet clusters is
also supported. For more information about mixing networking technologies in an
Expand network, see the Expand Configuration and Management Manual. For
information about ServerNet cluster topologies, see the ServerNet Cluster Manual or
the ServerNet Cluster 6780 Planning and Installation Guide.
Figure 5-3 shows a 16-node ServerNet cluster.
