rescue Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I work in little company that has a bout 20 comupters in office use, all running MDV 2005LE. Some machines are quite old and slow. Is wise / worth to build a cluster on these computers? [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamw Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 No, you can't build a cluster and then still use each machine in the cluster individually. Clustering is more about using a group of systems together to do very computationally intensive tasks - think supercomputer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have like 3-4 A64-s 3400+ with 512M DDR and they are doing the same job as 1.8G celeron with 256M DDR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) You could use them as terminal servers and convert the slow machines into thin clients, maybe? Edited June 1, 2005 by adamw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
