What is Database Cluster (Shared-Everything, Shared-Nothing)

Chapter 94
Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth Edition
A database management system runs on a group of computers interconnected by a high speed network. In the cluster, multiple database server instances are deployed. If one instance fails, another instance takes over very quickly to ensure high availability. In the shared-everything design, all nodes can access a shared stable storage device. In the shared-nothing design, each node has its own cache buffer and stable storage.
