Abstract

We have conducted a survey in the filed of cluster computing with intention to see its applications in data centers, advantages and disadvantages. Although the field of cluster computing is not novel, however a brief and comprehensive survey is conducted to help novice users to get a fair idea about data centers, cluster computing its applications, advantages and disadvantages. A thorough study was carried out from available resources, i.e., journals, conferences and websites to help conclusion. A number of free COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf) software are also available to get cluster computing done in any given environment. There is still a need to produce more middle-ware software for cluster computing to overcome the heterogeneous hardware environment.
