cluster

If you've reached this page, you're probably either curios about what other people think about server clusters or you think you need one.

So the question is 'Why would i need a cluster?' . I am going to answer it from our field of work. What we do is manage large server solutions for high traffic websites. Website delivery speed plays an extremely important factor in user experience while navigating a site. No matter how powerful a server is, it will eventually create bottlenecks when being hit by a large number of users. The limit of good behavior depends on several factors such as server power, website optimization, network bandwidth attached to the server, ram amount, etc. Whenever one or more of these factors is abused, the server will start to show slowdowns or even become unreachable.
