"Clustering is the act of connecting two or more computers to make them appear and function as a single computer. This can be done with software such as Microsoft Cluster Server. The purpose of clustering is to increase performance, such as in the case of high-performance computing, provide failover and increased availability, or to create a parallel processing environment."

It was mentioned earlier that you should expect the majority of questions you asked during an interview as an ICT Administrator to be either operational or technical. This is another example of a hybrid question that incorporates both of these features. Straightforwardly answer the question, with little embellishment. Anticipate follow-up questions from the interviewer.
