a group of independent servers managed as a single system for higher availability, easier manageability, and greater scalability
a group of independent servers running Cluster service and working collectively as a single system
a group of independent servers working collectively and running the Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS)
a group of independent servers working collectively as a single system to provide high-availability, scalability, and manageability of resources and applications
a group of independent servers working collectively via clustering software such as the Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS)
a group of individual computer systems, called nodes, working together cooperatively to provide increased computing power and continuous availability of business-critical applications or resources
a set of independent servers (referred to as nodes) and connected storage devices that are managed together
A Cluster is a group of physical servers, which run front-end web server software and contain back end data base-type facilities. A Cluster can be as simple as two servers, one front end and one back end, but normally a cluster will have several servers. Clusters contain facilities for services such as load balancing and data replication. Clusters offer enhanced security, redundancy and enhanced performance and are a natural evolution to any successful complex web site or Internet-based application.
A cluster created and administered by the Cluster service and associated software (.exe and .dll files), between whose nodes the Cluster service provides failover support for applications running on the servers. The server cluster includes the hardware and the cluster configuration as well as the Cluster service. See also cluster; node.
The type of cluster that the Cluster service implements. Server clusters are characterized by high availability. The server cluster is one of two types of clusters provided by Microsoft® Windows Clustering.
server cluster - A group of computers, known as nodes, that work together as a single system to ensure that mission-critical applications and resources remain available to clients. A server cluster presents the appearance of a single server to a client.
A group of independent computer systems, known as nodes, working together as a single system to ensure that mission-critical applications and resources remain available to clients. A server cluster is the type of cluster that Cluster service implements. See also: cluster
