Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clustering is the method by which multiple servers are grouped together to appear as a single device to the rest of the network. This provides high availability, load balancing, and failover capabilities. Load balancing (A) refers to the distribution of network traffic across multiple servers to avoid overloading any single server. Link aggregating (C) involves combining multiple physical network connections into a single logical connection for increased bandwidth and redundancy. Server overloading (D) is not a commonly used term in networking and does not describe a valid concept.
