MySQL Cluster is a high-availability,
high-redundancy version of MySQL adapted for the distributed
computing environment. It uses the NDBCLUSTER
storage engine to enable running several MySQL servers in a cluster.
This storage engine is available in MySQL 6.0 binary
releases and in RPMs compatible with most modern Linux
distributions.
MySQL Cluster is currently available and supported on a number of platforms, including Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, HP-UX, and other Unix-style operating systems on a variety of hardware. For exact levels of support available for on specific combinations of operating system versions, operating system distributions, and hardware platforms, please refer to the Cluster Supported Platforms list maintained by the MySQL Support Team on the MySQL AB Web site.
MySQL Cluster is not currently supported on Microsoft Windows. We are working to make Cluster available on all operating systems supported by MySQL, including Windows, and will update the information provided here as this work continues.
This chapter represents a work in progress, and its contents are subject to revision as MySQL Cluster continues to evolve. Additional information regarding MySQL Cluster can be found on the MySQL AB Web site at http://www.mysql.com/products/cluster/.

Answers to some commonly asked questions about Cluster may be found in the Section A.10, “MySQL 6.0 FAQ — MySQL Cluster”.
The MySQL Cluster mailing list: http://lists.mysql.com/cluster.
The MySQL Cluster Forum: http://forums.mysql.com/list.php?25.
Many MySQL Cluster users and some of the MySQL Cluster developers blog about their experiences with Cluster, and make feeds of these available through PlanetMySQL.
