cluster-aware application

{{Short description|Software application to call cluster APIs}}

A cluster-aware application is a software application designed to call cluster APIs in order to determine its running state, in case a manual failover is triggered between cluster nodes for planned technical maintenance, or an automatic failover is required, if a computing cluster node encounters hardware or software failure, to maintain business continuity. A cluster-aware application may be capable of failing over LAN or WAN.Microsoft TechNet - [https://technet.microsoft.com/ko-kr/library/cc737366(WS.10).aspx Cluster-Aware Applications]Microsoft Developer Network - [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369082(VS.85).aspx Cluster-Aware Applications]
