How do computer clusters work?

A cluster is a group of inter-connected computers or hosts that work together to support applications and middleware (e.g. databases). In a cluster, each computer is referred to as a “node”. Unlike grid computers, where each node performs a different task, computer clusters assign the same task to each node.
