Windows Server 2003 provides integrated
clustering services
and technologies to deliver higher levels of service and availability.
The Windows Server 2003 family provides two types of clustering
services: Cluster service and Network Load Balancing. Clustering
services demonstrate the improvement in resource management in Windows
Server 2003 in support of the Microsoft Dynamic System Initiative (DSI).

Server Cluster
Server Cluster is a
dramatically improved version of the Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS)
component included with Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2000
Datacenter Server. When you deploy Server Cluster, you first configure
it between two and eight servers that will act as nodes in the
cluster. Then you configure the cluster resources that are required by
the application you’re clustering.

The Goals of Clustering
The goal of clustering
is to determine the intrinsic grouping in a set of unlabeled data. But
how to decide what constitutes a good clustering? It can be shown that
there is no absolute “best” criterion which would be independent of the
final aim of the clustering. Consequently, it is the user which must
supply this criterion, in such a way that the result of the clustering
will suit their needs.
For instance, we could be interested in finding representatives for
homogeneous groups (data reduction), in finding “natural
clusters” and describe their unknown properties (“natural” data
types), in finding useful and suitable groupings (“useful” data
classes) or in finding unusual data objects (outlier detection).
