Continuing the 70-412 exam path, the next topic is Failover Clustering, a very complex subject. Below are my study notes which helped me prepare for the exam.
Failover Clustering is used to provide high availability for data frequently updated by clients, database servers, mail servers, print servers. Its also used to support highly available virtual machines hosted in hyper-v clusters.
As part of my preparation for the 70-412 Microsoft Exam, I needed to learn about Network Load Balancing Clusters. To do this I built one in my test lab and documented the process. The details below should be a useful reference for production environments, and for exam revision. Enjoy….
Network Load Balancing improves the availability of services by absorbing individual server failures and hiding these from the clients.
