8 Configure Failover Clusters for Windows Server 2012 R2



This topic provides an overview of the Failover Clustering feature inWindows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012. Failover clusters provide high availability and scalability to many server workloads.

These include server applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server,Hyper-V, Microsoft SQL Server, and file servers. The server applications can run on physical servers or virtual machines. This topic describes the Failover Clustering feature and provides links to additional guidance about creating, configuring, and managing failover clusters that can scale to 64 physical nodes and to 8,000 virtual machines.


The process for building your cloud infrastructure uses a combination of Hyper-V, failover clustering, storage, and networking technologies to more easily create a Microsoft cloud infrastructure. Windows Server 2012 introduces a significant number of new features that provide all of the required capabilities for building an effective cloud infrastructure in an open platform. By using automation, having an open platform, and being standards based, a Windows Server 2012-based cloud infrastructure decreases the total cost of ownership and reduces susceptibility tofailures due to interoperability issues. The Windows Server 2012 open platform allows partners to extend the functionality beyond what is in the platform.
