This library reviewed byMiniTooldefines the meanings of failover cluster and high-availability cluster.
Actually, they are the same thing in an operating system, which functions as a redundancy elimination service.
What Is a Failover Cluster?
A failoverclusteris a group of independent computers that work together to increase the availability and scalability of clustered roles.
They were known as clustered applications and services before.
The clustered servers, also named nodes, are connected by physical cables and software.
Besides, the clustered roles are proactively monitored to verify that they are working properly.
If not, they will be restarted or removed to another node.
With the failover clustering feature, people experience a minimum interruption in service.
What Is a High-Availability Cluster?
It is also called HA cluster or fail-over cluster.
This process is known as failover.
