A clustered system is two or more computers that share access to each other's disk storage or to a separate storage system(s). This can include satellite systems without any hard drive storage that boot and run completely using another machines hard drive. Clusters may be connected using special high speed channels such as Fiber to support the hard drive traffic. They may also use LAN connections for data transfers. Various LAN protocols are available TCPI/IP such as NFS (network file system), and SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common internet File System) often interchangeably called NetBIOS, Lan Manager and Samba. Other clustering methods include proprietary clustering protocols, Decnet, LAT, and NetBEUI

Clustering (means gather together) allows two or more system to shear storage closely linked via a local area network .

  • Provide high reliability ( Its work never stopped).
  • Asymmetric Cluster (at least two servers: One is on a standby mode while the other is monitoring the other one. If one stops other will work).
  • Symmetric Cluster (all work with one: The work together and monitor each other).
