Clustering

Can someone point me to some resources to design and
implement a clustered application solution? We are
designing an application and one of the requirements
is the ability to be clustered i.e. for one node to
take over the other, and do active-active clustering
also. Any pointers?

Did you at least check on MSDN? A quick search turned up a number of
pertinent articles:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mscs/ms
cs/creating_cluster_aware_applications.asp

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetse
rv/html/wns-introclustermscs.asp

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetse
rv/html/wns-introclustermscs.asp

And there were more as well. I was surprised to see that there are new
x64-only cluster services available…

Best of luck - but make sure you check out the MSDN materials.

Clustering on Windows? Hmmmm… I am not sure how scalable that is. Have
you checked out MPI. Besides, a clustered application does not need to be
aware of it being load balanced across a cluster, thats where the cluster
implementation of the OS comes. Check out Mosix, Beowulf.
