Data from my business's transactions are stored in a
few dozen tables in about 5 databases.  Right now the
MySQL server with dual RAID 0 80 gig drives. So far
the data which stores about 4 years worth of data only
takes up 1 gig.  There are about 4 or five work
stations that store data on this server.

For some time I have been considering replication for
added redundancy so that should something happen to
the server I could quickly deploy the slave as the
main server until the problem is fixed.  However, now
I reading about great MySQL clustering is.  What
exactly is clustering and should I look to employ it
instead of replication?  I'm thinking I really don't
need clustering as my transactions are plenty fast and
don't seem to overload my server am I right?

Thanks for any help.

Richard
