CISS works at one level of abstraction above clusters or Beowulfs. We can (and want to) aggregate individual clusters and Beowulfs into a single metacomputer. Also, CISS is designed to work across different administrative domains, whereas most (but not all) clusters are operated by a single systems administrator and are located within the same building.
