Most nodes in a cluster are socalled "compute" nodes - actually carrying out the computations. A "management" node enables access for cluster users - it can provide ressources thru more or less advances ressource schedulers. In addition a "management" node typically provides functions such as DHCP, DNS, Imaging, etc ... (TODO!)

A storage node is a node providing storage for the compute nodes - i.e. when they need to share data.
