We measure a significant correlation between the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in the Planck and WMAP maps and an X-ray cluster map based on ROSAT. We use the 100, 143 and 343 GHz Planck maps and the WMAP 94 GHz map to obtain this cluster cross spectrum. We check our measurements for contamination from dusty galaxies using the cross correlations with the 217, 545 and 857 GHz maps from Planck. Our measurement yields a direct characterization of the cluster power spectrum over a wide range of angular scales that is consistent with large cosmological simulations. The amplitude of this signal depends on cosmological parameters that determine the growth of structure (sigma(8) and Omega(M)) and scales as sigma(7.4)(8) and Omega(1.9)(M) around the multipole (l) similar to 1000. We constrain sigma(8) and Omega(M) from the cross-power spectrum to be sigma(8) (Omega(M)/0.30)(0.26) = 0.8 +/- 0.02. Since this cross spectrum produces a tight constraint in the sigma(8) and Omega(M) plane the errors on a sigma(8) constraint will be mostly limited by the uncertainties from external constraints. Future cluster catalogs, like those from eRosita and LSST, and pointed multi-wavelength observations of clusters will improve the constraining power of this cross spectrum measurement. In principle this analysis can be extended beyond sigma(8) and Omega(M) to constrain dark energy or the sum of the neutrino masses.
