A computer cluster includes: a first compartment, further including a plurality of first physical nodes configured to provide first resources for a first infrastructural virtual instance and second resources for guest virtual instances; and a second compartment, further including a plurality of second physical nodes configured to provide third resources for a second infrastructural virtual instance and fourth resources for guest virtual instances. Each of the plurality of physical nodes further includes a mass storage device, the mass storage device further including: a partition provided for booting the physical node; a partition as part of resources assigned to an infrastructural virtual instance; and a partition as part of other resources. The first infrastructural virtual instance and the second infrastructural virtual instance are configured for monitoring each other.
