Cloud Clustering: Leveraging System Center 2012

Microsoft's Symon Perriman and Concurrency Engineer/Microsoft MVP, Annur Sumar, delivered this presentation at the 2013 Microsoft Management Summit (MMS 2013) in Las Vegas, NV. Perriman and Sumar discuss how to keep your services online by using System Center 2012 high–availability features to dynamically and automatically manage your highly–virtualized datacenter. Discover how to leverage such technologies as Failover Clustering, Network Load Balancing, Service Redirection, and Backup & Restore, to provide continual availability to your mission-critical applications.
