		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to spend some time reflecting on the past six months of blogging on Software Architecture and Design. I started my blog because I wanted to share some of the things I have learned. Quite frankly, a lot of things surprised me with blogging. On one hand I imagined it to be more difficult to develop content that draws. On the other hand I imagined it to be easier…<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=applicationarchitecture.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11229093&amp;post=518&amp;subd=applicationarchitecture&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I know that clustering is a commonly found pattern in today’s IT world. I nevertheless wanted to cover it for those with less experience in a short entry as it is an essential pattern to know.

I outlined the objective, variations and commonly found patterns. After reading this article you should be able to distinguish between clustering and availability, know the advantages and disadvantages of clustering and be able to recognize the infrastructure impact a clustered application has.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=applicationarchitecture.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11229093&amp;post=388&amp;subd=applicationarchitecture&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Even though developing Architectures seems to be - and to some extent is - a creative process it is important to approach it in a structured way. This ensures that all important aspects of the architecture - and therefore the client's non-functional requirements - are covered.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=applicationarchitecture.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11229093&amp;post=105&amp;subd=applicationarchitecture&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
