Abstract

In recent years many organizations are trying to design an advanced computing environment to get the high performance. Also, the small academic institutions are wishing to develop an effective computing and digital communication environment. It creates problems in getting the required powerful hardware components and softwares because the high level servers and workstations are very expensive. It is not affordable to purchase the high level servers and workstations for the small academic institutions. In this paper we have proposed a low cost and scalable PC cluster system by using the Commodity off the Shelf Personal Computers and free open source softwares.
