Server clusters are designed for applications that have long-running
in-memory state or frequently updated data. These are called stateful
applications. Examples of stateful applications include database
applications such as Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and messaging applications
such as Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.

Server clusters can combine up to eight servers.

Network Load Balancing is intended for applications that do not have
long-running in-memory state. These are called stateless applications. A
stateless application treats each client request as an independent
operation, and therefore it can load-balance each request independently.
Stateless applications often have read-only data or data that changes
infrequently. Web front-end servers, virtual private networks (VPNs), and
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers typically use Network Load Balancing.
Network Load Balancing clusters can also support other TCP- or UDP-based
services and applications.

Network Load Balancing can combine up to 32 servers.
