Describe the differences between high-performance clusters, high-availability clusters and load-balance clusters.Give examples of each of these cluster types in use.

What will be an ideal response?


In a high-performance cluster, all the nodes in the cluster work to improve performance.
In a high-availability cluster, only some of the nodes in the cluster are working, while
others act as backups. In a load-balancing cluster, one node works as a load balancer to distribute
the load to a set of nodes so that all hardware is efficiently utilized.High-performance
clusters are used on compute-intensive tasks such as weather forecasting. A company that
provides online critical commercial applications would use the high-availability cluster to
ensure continuous availability. Load-balancing clusters are usually used in e-business applications
with high user volumes.
