Introduction
A two node multi-site
Windows failover cluster is typically used in non-production environments. The
key benefits of such an approach include providing a “cut down” replica of a
standard four-node failover cluster used in production and facilitating
simplified failover of services to disaster recovery sites.
In this architecture we
are deploying a single Windows server in both the primary and secondary sites.
These are clustered using Windows failover clustering. A quorum file server is
deployed (if one does not already exist) in the primary site to provide a third
“tie-breaker” node when it comes to voting on the primary node in the cluster.
