What is Microsoft Failover Clustering?
Microsoft Failover Clustering is a technology that enables grouping two or more independent servers to work together. If one server fails, another server in the cluster will take over its workloads (applications and services) to minimize downtime. It's commonly used for ensuring high availability of critical applications and services such as SQL Server, Exchange Server, Hyper-V virtual machines, and file servers.
