OpenSolaris

Project goals

The goal of Project Colorado is to provide a minimal and extensible binary distribution of Open HA Cluster (OHAC) that runs on the OpenSolaris binary distribution. This distribution of OHAC will provide basic cluster functionality with a low barrier to entry and easy deployment for OpenSolaris. Additional functionality will be provided via optional IPS packages. The intended audience is system administrators needing simple HA and developers needing an HA framework for their applications or software appliances.
