High availability is one of the top priorities in many data centers and IT departments. Windows Server 2012 R2 provides a robust clustering solution that can be used with many applications and services. File servers and Hyper-V servers are among the most common implementations of Windows Failover clustering.
This book provides a hands-on approach to the deployment and configuration of highly available file servers and host clustering with Hyper-V. In both scenarios, the aim is the same: Minimize a single point of failure and detect failures as they happen.
