Strengthen the protection and durability of your IT systems with the course “Implementing Failover Clustering for Maximum Uptime.” This course is specially designed for IT engineers, system administrators, and other specialists responsible for backing critical services with reliable clustering. The course will begin with the basics: finding types of clustering applicable to the given problem and deciding on storage and hardware. From there, you will proceed to a more tangible lesson of creating and configuring clusters to get the optimal performance out of it.
As for the set of related skills for monitoring, maintaining, and troubleshooting the failover clusters, the course “Implementing Failover Clustering for Maximum Uptime” is also worth mentioning. Network settings are discussed to be able to perform backups and recover from mishaps while increasing availability. The course also teaches how to do Cluster-Aware Updating to maintain a zero-impact method of updating the operating system. You will be ready to address problems proactively and elaborate on the communication and availability problems with the help of enhanced diagnostic tools and methods.
Finally, enrich your knowledge and practice with advanced-level topics like site resiliency with stretched failover clusters. You can control the clusters in several places, study and define data replication methods, and build a site-aware failover clustering for the most effective disaster control. You can do practical sessions that will let you practice in existing and new environments, giving you the confidence to undertake real-life solutions.
