Introduction
Windows Failover Cluster is a feature in the Windows Server operating system designed to provide fault tolerance and handover capabilities across hardware and software platforms. The main goal of Windows Failover Cluster is to ensure the continuity of applications and services in the event of one or more system components failing.
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS). Applications and tools connect to an instance of SQL Server or a database, and communicate using Transact-SQL (T-SQL).
