NSI - Network Solutions, Inc. Software has released a new version of GeoCluster. Version 4.4 provides increased data and application protection and availability for Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS See Microsoft Cluster Server. ). Other features include major functional enhancements, such as an improved interface and increased scalability, and the product is now Microsoft-certified for reliable performance within the Windows environment (1) (upper case "W") Refers to computers running under a Microsoft Windows operating system. (2) (lower case "w") Also called a "windowing environment," it refers to any software that provides multiple windows on screen such as Windows, Mac, Motif and X Window. . While MSCS provides a high level of application availability, MSCS clusters maintain only a single copy of the data and allow failover only within limited distances. Built on top of MSCS, GeoCluster 4.4 offers added data protection to businesses of any size by allowing MSCS cluster members to have their own independent copy of the data, removing that single-point-of-failure and also allows cluster members to be separated over much greater distances, providing geographically dispersed dis·perse v. dis·persed, dis·pers·ing, dis·pers·es v.tr. 1. a.
