Failover clustering is the most effective way to achieve high availability in a Windows Server environment. When you cluster any Windows servers, With Cluster service, if a failure occurs in a crucial hardware component or in the SQL Server service, then the drives, SQL Server, and associated services will fail over to the secondary server. The entire failover is automatic and generally takes between 30 and 60 seconds. With other SQL Server high-availability solutions such as log shipping or replication, someone has to manually change the roles to the secondary server if a disaster strikes the main server.

Learn how to implement and managing the sql server clusters boost your technical expertise for your success ladder as an exceptional SQL Server Database administrator.
