What are the advantages of cluster server?
 

Could anyone tell me the advantages of using cluster server?

It improves the network performance, Business continuity, Easy maintenance, and Easy configuration and management.:rolleyes:

When talking of major websites which maintain a 100% uptime a cluster of servers will come in to scene. Basically a cluster involves multiple servers which distribute the load among themselves.

If you are looking to achieve server scalability and best performance on web and database servers, cluster is what you need.

Following are some of the advantages of the cluster server:
Improve scalability
Higher availability
Great Flexibility.

It enables applications handle more load.

Avoids interruptions in service.

Provides more flexibility to IT personnel in configuring the infrastructure to support applications' performance, availability, and scalability requirements.

There are three basic advantages to running a server cluster:

* Server clusters offer scalability.

* Clustered servers offer high availability.

* Clustering makes managing the network easier.

It manages your customer needs with resource availabilty, instead of bending in buying more better plans.

scalability

high-application availability

Ability of offload backup workload

simplified and improves network management

Clouds work on the backbone of virtualization and clustering.

YOU CAN GET A CLUE OF THE VIRTUE OF CLUSTERING:D

If you are going for the cPanel cluster DNS then it shows that the DNS will never be down.

You can see the site at the next moment you type and enter in the address bar.

i.e., 100 % uptime.

All the best for the installation.
