# Clustering

|
Nomad models infrastructure into regions and datacenters. Servers reside at the
|
|
|
|
|
regional layer and manage all state and scheduling decisions for that region.
|
|
|
|
|
Regions contain multiple datacenters, and clients are registered to a single
|
|
|
|
|
datacenter (and thus a region that contains that datacenter). For more details on
|
|
|
|
|
the architecture of Nomad and how it models infrastructure see the [architecture
|
|
|
|
|
page](/docs/internals/architecture.html).
