Abstract
Scaling and highly available clustering for large scale real-time applications is provided. A ring may be formed which includes multiple nodes for providing a set of services in a system. When a network partition is detected which affects communications between each of the nodes in the ring, the formation of additional rings is prevented by shutting down nodes which include a minority of voting nodes in the ring while maintaining the availability of the nodes which include a majority of the voting nodes to continue providing the set of services in the system.
