Overview/Description
Failover clustering allows you to make applications and services highly available, this includes services in your virtual environment. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 allows you to cluster Hyper-V hosts and virtual machines. By integrating Hyper-V with failover clustering, you can create standby replicas of virtual machines, move running VMs between hosts, manage downtime, provide high availability, and plan for disaster recovery. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 also provides several options for backing up and recovering servers in the event of data loss, data corruption, or a server outage. Integrating Hyper-V with failover clustering and preparing for disaster recovery are covered in this course. This course is one of a series, which covers the objectives for Microsoft Exam 70-412: Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services.
