Seema,

Yes, there is. On NT4 it was called MS Cluster Service, not so much cluster 'scalability-wise', but it allowed for failover. Oracle supplied some software on top of that: Oracle Fail Safe. If you only want failover, it's sufficient to use those product, you don't need RAC or OPS. It worked OK for many shops: so I'm convinced it's W2K successor(s) will do the job also. I'm exclusively involved with Unix the last few years, so I don't now the exact current status. I do know though, that HP(!) Trucluster, as Mladen suggested, is a (Tru64) Unix product and has nothing to do with W2K.

regards,
