system for servers running applications such as

service systems; databases; and e-commerce Web
sites. Enterprise Edition delivers high
reliability, performance, and superior business
value and is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit

servers and can be used to cluster servers for
greater load handling. These capabilities
provide reliability that helps ensure systems
