(1) Two or more systems working together. See clustering.

(2) Also called an "allocation unit" or "file allocation unit," it is some number of disk sectors that are treated as a unit. A cluster is the smallest unit of storage the operating system's file system can manage. That means if a 1KB file is stored in a system with a 32KB cluster (see table below), the 1KB file takes up 32KB of disk space.
