What's the best path to build a FOSS rock solid redundant cluster with a bunch of atom servers?

Looking at beowulf, heartbeat, linux-ha they haven't evolved much lately, or am I wrong?

regards, //t

To do what? Have you ever heard of this "cloud" thingy. Seems to solve everything. And you can build you own cloud. – mailq Oct 22 '11 at 10:47
@mailq, I'm not looking for scaling or virtualisation. Just 100% uptime. – user65297 Oct 22 '11 at 19:07

@user65297 You are kidding: serverfault.com/questions/316637/100-uptime-for-web-application – mailq Oct 22 '11 at 19:22
@mailq, The application is industrial LAN-only. No internet. No human clients. – user65297 Nov 1 '11 at 10:58
So what should that tell me? 100% uptime is impossible under any circumstances. – mailq Nov 1 '11 at 16:06

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

There is no best, only best-for-me. The best fit is what works best with your software. There are some frameworks about for managing distributed clouds of computers (two of which have already been mentioned) but nothing FOSS has emerged as 'best' yet. The market is too immature and the problems that need to be solved diverse enough that convergence is not even likely.
