Overall Satisfaction with Windows Server Failover Clustering

It is the backbone of our IT Infrastructure, It provides high availability of the servers to meet our business requirements, we are using it for failover solution of our exchange servers and database servers, Microsoft is working hard to making it better day by day and with the newer version 2019 we can failover to a cloud or on premises both.
  • It is reliable, its fast, it is the best you would not even know that you have been switched to other node.
  • Clustering based on geographic distribution
  • Multiple server multiple site deployment
  • Configuration could make easier
  • [I feel] pricing should be considered for middle size organizations to adapt it
  • Storage pool and VDM configuration is confusing [in my experience]
  • High Availablity
  • Hyper V
  • Geographical Cluster Distribution
  • Availability ensured and smooth operations
  • Easy to setup saving a lot of time
Being a part of Microsoft ecosystem integration and configuration is easy like Microsoft Exchange Server, MS SQL Server and Windows, being familiar with other Microsoft products makes it more easy to use. Features like manual failover and switching from active to node, upgrading one node at one time and other node another time makes it more suitable to manage

Would you buy Windows Server Failover Clustering again?

Yes

Best for organizations that require 24 hours of enabled IT infrastructure to support business needs so incase of any updating activity or a disaster the user won't even know what had happened at the back and ensure smooth operations. Hot plug scalable storage is a good option for organizations using RDBMS and thin clients as well.
