Increase media access and server scalability while reducing latency and TCO

The growth in Cloud computing is driving new innovations to enable a wider array of supported applications. Email server, interactive databases and transaction processing applications require increased media access, application failover, reduced latency, and greater scalability. Technology is poised to deliver on these requirements while maintaining focus on total cost of ownership (TCO). Two areas of technology that are addressing the latency and cost requirements of the Cloud are virtualization and High-availability clustering.
