Building a fault tolerant Hyper-V cluster from old and new servers

For larger network installations where 100% up-time is a must, we often join all physical servers into a “Hyper-V cluster”. In a cluster, two or more physical servers share the virtual workload among themselves. If one server goes down or is restarted because of Windows updates, all Virtual Machines will remain online and end-users will never know that one of the physical servers has gone offline.
A Hyper-V cluster requires a minimum of two physical servers and one Network Attached Storage (NAS) device.
The cluster functionality is built into Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows Server 2016. It requires no additional licenses and offers improved reliability at a very affordable price.

    Hi!
    I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you
    knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my
    comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and
    I’m having problems finding one?
    Thanks a lot!
