Microsoft Cluster Overview

The Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) connects two or more servers together and shows them as a single computer to clients. Clustering helps you to have a fail-safe application. A cluster aware application such as Microsoft SQL Server runs on one node at a time. If that node goes down, another node takes over the service. Clustering helps ensure that your application is up all the time.

If the Microsoft cluster component is installed with CA Virtual Assurance, an administrator can register and manage clusters using the Administration tab.
