English to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering | | English term or phrase: highly clustered | We have similar decisions to make here, meaning that if my two basic hardware technologies are going to be blades and mainframe, which applications deploy optimally on blades vs. mainframes?
In this case, we provide some guidelines.
The scale-out function can be done on the mainframe through zSeries virtualization technologies
But it may be better done, in some cases, with physical blade servers.
In the latter scenario, ideal blade applications would include:
***highly clustered*** workloads environments,
does it mean "environments arranged in many clusters"?
thanks! |

| | deployed mainly in clusters | Explanation: A cluster in this context is a specific computer server technology. It is based on connecting several servers together in such away that they appear to clients on the network as a single server. Within a cluster, the individual servers (called cluster members) can share application load, and most importantly provide high availablity (HA) in a way that is transparent to the clients connecting to the cluster. HA means that if a service (for example database server) is running on one cluster member and fails, the service is restarted on another cluster member (the term used is the application fails over to another member) and the service continues. The clients either do not notice at all, or experience a flicker in the service.
The text implies that the smaller blade servers will be deployed in clusters rather than running individually on their own. This will be an alternative to the single large mainframe for providing the scale out function.
So instead of the additional servers needed for scaling out being several mainframes, they will be several clusters, each consisting of a number of blade servers connected together internally.

27 mins confidence:   arranged in many clusters (in a high density of clusters)
Explanation: Yes, I would think so.
Have a look at this link it might clarify a bit more.
Small-world Networks
... Regular networks are highly clustered, ie, there is a high density of connections
between nearby nodes, but have long path lengths, ie, to go from one distant ...
