What is clustering?

Clustering via Microsoft's 'Wolfpack" MSCS is a technique for creating a fault tolerent computer system. In a basic form you would have two servers each with a SCSI RAID controller and an drive box shared by the two RAID controllers (twin tailed). If one of the servers failed then the other server would recognize that fact and take over the drives and the workload from its dead buddy.
 
Clustering is basicly you have many computers working as one, so like SCSIRAID said that if one fails the rest will just take over. Clustering can also be used to process data so that the cluster gets data to process and it cuts it into many smaller peaces and sends it to each node, then the node sends it back to the central node.
