Multiple nodes connected through switches form a cluster. A cluster integrates storage resources of different nodes and provides external services as a whole.
A cluster system can be applied to the following scenarios:
- In normal cases, multiple nodes in a cluster system simultaneously process services. In the event that a node is faulty, other nodes automatically take over services from the faulty node, ensuring service continuity.
- A cluster system evenly distributes workloads across all nodes to bring resources into full play and prevent a certain node from being overloaded, thereby improving system efficiency and performance.
- A cluster system's performance increases along with an increasing number of nodes, ensuring high scalability of performance and capacity and meeting customers' increasing application requirements.
