Introduction
A server cluster is a group of independent servers working collectively and running the Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS). Server clusters provide high availability, failback, scalability, and manageability for resources and applications
Server clusters allowclient access to applications and resources in the event of failures and planned outages. If one of the servers in the cluster is unavailable because of a failure or maintenance requirements, resources and applications move to other available cluster nodes.
For Windows Clustering solutions, the term “high availability” is used rather than “fault tolerant.” Fault-tolerant technology offers ahigher level of resilience and recovery. Fault-tolerant servers typically use a high degree of hardware redundancy plus specialized software to provide near-instantaneous recovery from any single hardware or software fault. These solutions cost significantly more than a Windows Clustering solution because organizations must pay for redundant hardware that waits in an idle state for a fault.
Serverclusters do not guarantee non-stop operation, but they do provide sufficient availability for most mission-critical applications. The cluster service can monitor applications and resources and automatically recognize and recover from many failure conditions. This provides flexibility in managing the workload within a cluster. It also improves overall system availability.
