什么是集群技术（What is cluster technology） What is the cluster? 2009-12-31 10:52 Cluster technology is the use of specific connection mode, relative to the super computer computer equipment cheaper combined, parallel processing technology and super computer performance is provided. As early as 70s, people can use this technology to complete the proposed cluster parallel processing, but due to the limitation of network switching technology, the cluster system in performance and other parallel processing systems far apart, until the network technology mature today, the ability to compete with the super computer prepared it can. What is the cluster Cluster (Cluster) technology refers to a group of independent computers, a computer system using a high-speed communication network, each cluster node (i.e. clusters in each computer) is a standalone server that runs its own process. These processes can communicate with each other, the network client is like the formation of a single system, work together to provide the application to the user, the system resources and data, and with a single system management mode. A client (Client) and cluster interactions, cluster like a stand-alone server. The starting point of the computer cluster technology is to provide high availability, manageability, scalability of the computer system. A cluster contains multiple shared data storage space of the server, the server through the LAN communication. When a node fails, the application will automatically run over by other nodes. In most modes, have a common name for all the nodes in the cluster, the operation of any node within the cluster service on the network can be used by all the customers. Cluster characteristics 1. provide a high performance computer system powerful processing ability: computer cluster through load balancing, parallel processing, processing time and other forms, the formation of multiple computers of high performance computer cluster. The user terminal (Client), a compute
