Overview
Welcome to the collaboration site for Kimberlite cluster development.
Kimberlite is an open-source
(GNU GPL) project for high availability clustering on
Linux. Kimberlite paves the way for commercial
quality, shared-storage clustering on Linux. We invite
you to use Kimberlite to solve your availability
problems, provide us feedback on your experiences, and
to become an active member of the
development team.
A Kimberlite Cluster provides
support for two server nodes connected to a shared SCSI or Fibre
Channel storage subsystem, in an active-active failover
environment. The software provides the ability to
detect when either node leaves the cluster, and will
automatically trigger recovery scripts which perform
the procedures necessary to restart applications on the
remaining node. When the node rejoins the
cluster, applications can be moved back to it, manually
or automatically, if required. Sample recovery
scripts are provided. Kimberlite is designed to deliver
the highest levels of data integrity and be
extremely robust. It is suitable for deployment in any
environment that requires high availability for
un-modified Linux applications.
Benefits of Kimberlite
- Open Source clustering software designed for use in commercial application environments
- High availability and guaranteed data integrity using commodity hardware components
- Benefits can be applied to any application, with no requirement to modify the application
- Supplied with a command-line management interface for scripting of regular operations
