=== Introduction ===
Clustering is the common term for partitioning and replicating data. Partitioning means splitting data up among different storage locations such that each data item exists at a single location only. Partitioning enhances throughput through load balancing. Replication means a data item is kept in multiple storage locations at the same time. Replication enhances reliability through redundancy.
