Cluster System
It is the type of multiple CPU system is the clustered system. like multiprocessor systems, clustered system gather together multiple CPUs to accomplish computational work. clustered systems differ from multiprocessor systems, however, in that they are composed of two or more individual systems-or nodes- joined together. The definition of term clustered is not concrete; many commercial packages wrestle with what a clustered system is and why one form is better than another. The generally accepted definition is that clustered computers share storage and are closely linked via a Local Area Network(LAN) or a faster interconnect, such as InfiniBand. clustering is usually used to provide High-availability service; that is service will continue even if one or more systems in the cluster fail. High availability is generally obtained by adding a level of redundancy in the system. A layer of cluster software runs on the cluster nodes. Each node can monitor one or more of the others (over the LA
