Design of the processes for the creation of a high-performance cluster for ICT departments of the Universidad Católica del Ecuador Sede Esmeraldas

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to design a high-performance cluster architecture for the Department of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador Sede Esmeraldas (PUCESE), which will allow high performance support in applications or services that require it. With cluster technology, the ICT department of PUCESE could improve the redundancy of data in the services that are managed, in this way there would be business continuity in the event of an error in the current systems that are managed to carry out the correct backup of information. This research focuses on presenting a cluster architecture design to improve the processes used in servers by means of mirror disks to carry out high availability of data. In addition, a technical solution based on the waterfall methodology is used for the design of the cluster creation processes. Also, a description of the requirements of the desired system configurations to achieve a high availability cluster is detailed, then the design and hardware and software details for this possible implementation are defined, in the same way, the times and resources are established. to launch this technology. Therefore, this study is structured as follows: the introduction, related articles where the background of the research is detailed, then the state of the art is reflected, where the theoretical foundations related to the conceptual aspects required for this project are highlighted, therefore The methodology and tools used for the development of the study based on the design of a cluster architecture for the ICT department of PUCESE are indicated, following the results obtained after the design of the cluster, and finally the conclusions and recommendations of the study.
