I am just asking about clustering because I want to use it in NGS analysis, this is it.

Please rephrase your post so it's clear how what your analyses are and what you've considered so far in terms of methods. Then the question can be reopened.

Well, I am running some exome sequencing analysis on one PC, 8 cores and 32GB of RAM. I did some research and found that we can cluster some PCs so we can use their resources (CPU, RAM, hard disk) to speed up my analysis, or even running many analysis in the same time.

I would recommend talking to your local IT folks first. Perhaps there are already local resources you could use. Otherwise, you'll probably need their help anyway to get all of this working.
