If any server in the cluster crashes, processing continues transparently, however, the cluster suffers some
performance degradation. This implementation is sometimes called a:

A.
server farm

B.
client farm

C.
cluster farm

D.
host farm

Explanation:
Clusters may also be referred to as server farms. If one of the systems within the cluster fails, processing
continues because the rest pick up the load, although degradation in performance could occur.
Incorrect Answers:
B: A cluster contains servers, not clients.
C: A cluster and a cluster farm is not the same thing. A cluster is server farm.
D: A cluster and a host farm is not the same thing. A cluster is server farm.
