cluster/server

Post by mystuff »

Is saying extracting from a cluster equivalent to saying extracting from a server

Or do they both mean differently.

Different. A cluster involves more than one machine. Therefore there are architectural differences.

Philosophically one could argue that a cluster of one machine is a possibility, but pragmatically one would not.
