The Book is very good to get a general idea what the people are talking about when they talk about clusters. The Hardware Part is very good but the part about MSCS is a bit short.

The book provides a wonderful introductory overview of clustering architectures. It does, however, provide a detailed look at NT specific clusters. Even the sections of the book that are "NT specific" talk mostely about clusters in general. I gave the book 4 stars because it gives a wonderful overview of clustering technology and does give you a good sence of where NT fits in. But, it really needs to have some discussion that is more specific to NT's implementation.

Explain different model of clusters and designs. Good visual diagrams to show different type of clusterings and technologies involved, plus follow-up details on their pros & cons. Excellent topic on SCSI devices. Overall, the book layout the concept of clustering quite nicely; however, you will still need those Microsoft's online documentation on NT clustering to set up your cluster. Since there not too many books out there on NT clustering, I have to give this book 4 stars. Cheer.
