I should also mention that there are more clustering technologies that are not really related to high availability but since the term "clustering" is somewhat ambivalent...

• Beowulf -- well, no need to talk about this one. Beowulf just helped achieving a world record in clustering - more than 400 nodes up and running, and doing useful work.
• MOSIX -- "is a tool for supporting cluster computing. This tool includes adaptive resource sharing algorithms that are geared for performance scalability in a (shared-nothing) scalable computing cluster."
