A cluster is a group of independent systems that work together as a single system. A client interacts with a cluster as though it were a single server. Cluster configurations increase the availability of a system’s resources. If a system or application in the cluster fails, the cluster software responds by restarting the failed application or dispersing the work from the failed system to the remaining systems in the cluster.
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Advanced Server supports clustering. For more information about Clustering Service, see the documentation included with your Windows 2000 Advanced Server software.
