About Cluster
Clusters emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as a means to achieve high availability and performance by connecting multiple computers to work as a single system. They were developed to provide redundancy, balance load, and improve computational power. Early examples included IBM's S/360 systems and DEC's VAX clusters.
Strengths of clusters include high availability, scalability, fault tolerance, and improved performance through parallel processing. Weaknesses involve complexity in setup and maintenance, higher costs, and potential network bottlenecks. Competitors include grid computing, cloud computing, and single high-performance supercomputers.
