Availability of Clustered Hosts
Clustered hosts refers to a group of interconnected computing nodes or servers that work together collaboratively to provide enhanced performance, availability, and scalability. Clustering involves the interconnection of multiple servers to operate as a unified system, sharing resources and distributing workloads efficiently. It also facilitates load balancing, fault tolerance, and efficient resource utilization.
Storage clusters, typically managed by CSPs, are configurations in which multiple storage devices or nodes are grouped together to provide a unified and scalable storage infrastructure. These clusters are designed to enhance storage performance, availability, and reliability by distributing data across multiple nodes. There are two main types of storage clusters:
- In tightly coupled storage clusters, multiple storage nodes operate in close proximity within a single physical location, forming an integrated and high-performance storage...
