Cluster Buster! (without being to technical)
by: | in: Blogs, Support Team | on: 24/08/2010
What is a Cluster or Clustering?
A computer cluster is a group of linked computers, working together closely thus in many respects forming a single computer. The components of a cluster are commonly, but not always, connected to each other through fast local area networks. Clusters are usually deployed to improve performance and/or availability over that of a single computer, while typically being much more cost-effective than single computers of comparable speed or availability.(Borrowed from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster)
How does one go about Busting a Cluster?
By successfully installing and customizing software solutions to meet a customer’s requirements.
What are the Benefits of clustering?
Load balancing, high availability, the sharing of services across one or more servers, centralized management of services and seamless failover.

A Group of BEARs is known as a Sleuth. This has no relevance to any BEAR Solutions software; I did not know what a group of bears was called. Google provided this answer. Thankyou Google.
Seriously though Clustering should be given due consideration when considering your distaster recovery plans. Its good to know that BEAR software will support clustered environments.
