Hi,

I'm looking for a way to give to my server the most availability as
possible. I think about something like 2 computer running win2000 server at
the same time with an external raid system that when a computer have
problem an other take the place automaticaly without any interuption. I sit
possible? What I need to do that? Does it have special hardware or
software? Where I can find some document about it?

Agreed... clusters can be very expensive. It really depends on the what the
server is doing as to whether or not a cluster is appropriate.

one word of advice... stay away from Dell PowerVault shared SCSI cluster
implimentations. We have had more exchange databases get corrupted during
cluster failover that i can tell you about.
