Abstract: In this paper, at first we introduce cluster technology and its recent developments in Linux platform. Then we analyse the latest methods used to implement it. Meanwhile, we point out the deficiency of these technologies. After these analysis, a new heterogeneous cluster solution is introduced, with its outstanding management and data synchronization features. In the end, we use a mail cluster system as an example to expound the new cluster solution.
