My dual socket commodity Dell server also has multiple CPUs connected by a high speed interconnect. Cluster?
The top TPC-C cluster has 27 database servers, each with 4 processors and 512GB of RAM. Can your Dell server host 108 processors and 13.8TB of RAM?
The Sun cluster is exactly what most people think of as a "cluster" -- a scalable set of servers that vastly exceeds single server performance.
- jhugg 14y agoYes, it's a cluster. I totally concede. I just meant it's not the same kind of clustering as Hadoop/HBase, Vertica, VoltDB, Cassandra, Riak, Greenplum, Netezza, Teradata or even DB2-Cluster. If clustering is a spectrum where Dynamo-style systems like Riak are on one side and my Dell SMP system is the other extreme, the Sun cluster is probably closer to the SMP system than to the Riak cluster.
