Load balancer: lvs(ha include),now LVS included in RHEL
Web Server: multi httpd server,now apache(file rsync or distributed file sytem or nfs)
Stream server: Helix or WMS
Other Service: smtp,ftp etc
Application server(j2ee Container): tomcat(javagroups,tangol),jboss,weblogic etc,now using mod_jk link web to app
Database:oracle rac,mysql(using clusterjdbc,no mysql cluster which now testing)
Cluster Filesytem: now testing lustre1.2.1 under sles9(Suse Enterprise server 9),but too less document
SAN too expensive and NAS not suite for so much server
