    Clustering is when you group two or more servers together. For instance: I have two servers and an array of hard drives. I loaded SQL Server onto each server (call them Node A and Node B) and use the array for the data files. Clustering software allows Node A to be primary and Node B to be the backup server. Normally Node A is used for all SQL Server actions. But if it should fail, then Node B automatically takes over (this is called failover) and the users shouldn't really notice any loss of service. -SQLBill
