Mainframe Systems
-> mainframe are computers used primarly by large organizations for critical application; bulk data processing, such as census, industry and consumer statics, enterprise resource planning and transaction processing.
-> Nearly all mainframes have the ability to run (or host) multiple operating systems. A single mainframe can replace dozens or even hundreds of smaller servers.
-> IBM, with Z systems, continues to be a major manufacturer in the mainframe market.
Clustered Systems
-> Clustered systems are similar to parellel systems as they both have multiple CPU's. However, a major difference is that clustered systems are created by two or more individual computers systems merged together.
-> Basically, they have independent computer systems with a common storage and the systems work together.
-> The nodes in the clustered systems are connected to the storage area networks.
-> All the clustered computer nodes share data and are linked together closely using local area networks (LAN).
