Hi,

That's why you combine both Clustering and Virtualization.
You get the benefits of Clustering (being able to use redundancy) and
Virtualization (being able to move servers around, change
hardware...etc)
If done properly this will increase your uptime

Not sure how MLN provides redendancy.

Regards,

Barry
