Description
Would you like to learn how to deploy, manage, and optimize a Windows Server 2012 R2 failover cluster? This course can teach you everything you want to know, and you don't even need prior clustering experience! Explore the basic requirements for a cluster and how to deploy and validate it. Optimize the networking and storage configuration, and create a Scale-Out File Server. Get best practices for configuring and optimizing highly available Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs), and explore disaster recovery solutions with both Hyper-V Replica and multi-site clustering. Then, look at advanced administration and troubleshooting techniques. Finally, get a look at how System Center 2012 R2 can be used for large-scale cluster management and optimization.
