But there is some info in this doc (found via Google): http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/power/4q03-mis.pdf ... looks like a pretty good article, either way. -- Adam MachanicPro SQL Server 2005, available nowhttp://www..apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=457-- <Laurence Hunter@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:44b215d6-a25e-44ac-83d8-c18517f64798@.discussions.microsoft.com...I'm new to the architect world and I'm trying to solve a performance problem with a SQL Server cluster. But, in talking to some folks they were recommending that I write a design based on a SQL Server "farm".
