  6. Provides resource sharing: Separately managed sites Multiple departments/divisions in a large corporation Computing centre supporting many sites Multiple cooperating organisations Loosely connected sites Over long distance or slow links Across WAN with time differences While maintaining: Autonomy Each cluster has its own LSF administrators Each cluster sets its own policies Administrators of different clusters negotiate in setting up inter-cluster resource sharing policies Reliability The availability of one cluster does not affect another Communication failures between clusters does not cause job loss LSF MultiCluster
