Mysql by itself has built in "clustering" though there can be significant limitations in it depending on your requirements.
I agree. The built in cluster has too many limitations to be useful, but MySQL master-master replication gives a very good alternative to a true cluster. We use it to deploy geographically redundant systems and it has worked very well for us.
