Line 4: ==Cluster categorizations== ===High-availability (HA) clusters=== [[High-availability cluster]]s are implemented primarily for the purpose of improving the availability of services which the cluster provides. They operate by having redundant [[Node (networking)\|nodes]], which are then used to provide service when system components fail. The most common size for an HA cluster is two nodes, which is the minimum ~~required~~requirement to provide redundancy. HA cluster implementations attempt to manage the redundancy inherent in a cluster to eliminate single points of failure. There are many commercial implementations of High-Availability clusters for many operating systems. The [[Linux-HA]] project is one commonly used [[free software]] HA package for the [[Linux]] OS. ===Load-balancing clusters===
