This blog was authored by Anish Jain, Senior Technical Manager, Sujaikumar Jayarao, Director Product Management Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery, NutanixThe primary motivation behind deploying clustering solutions like Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) or Linux Pacemaker is to ensure uninterrupted business operations for mission-critical applications and services.
