Newbie question

I am looking to go into a DBA role and I keep hearing
about clustering servers.
Is there anywhere I can go to learn about it? Or can
someone please tell me what it is and how to set it up?
Thanks,
GP

haven't read it yet, but I need the same info to improve my chances at a
better DBA job than the one I have...Clustering is definitely an advanced
concept.
