In working for a consulting firm, we have done a lot with Clustering using MSCS. If you plan well, this can be bullet proof. I have set up around 30-40 clustered environments. Some load balanced, some fault tolerant, some using Fiber Channel, some SCSI. At first when I was getting involved with MSCS, I made mistakes and they did blow up on me. However, after getting it down pat, they run like champs. I know there are computational flavors from MS, but I havent used them in that fashion. Beowulf would be my choice there.
