The first thing you might notice is that Windows® clustering has a new name in Windows Server 2008—failover clustering. The first version of server clustering, code-named “Wolfpack,” was released for Microsoft® Windows® NT 4.0 under the official name of Microsoft® Cluster Services (MSCS). The name changed to Server Clustering in Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server and Windows Server® 2003. The name changed again in Windows Server 2008 because of some confusion with another type of cluster: Windows® Compute Cluster Server.
A number of new services and capabilities are included in the new Windows Server 2008 failover cluster service. These include:
-
Improved Failover Cluster Management Interfaces.
-
The Validate Tool.
-
A New Way to Create Clusters.
-
Migration of Legacy Clusters.
-
Support for Windows Server 2008 Server Core.
-
Improvements in Share Scoping and Management.
-
Better Storage and Backup Support.
-
Enhanced Maintenance Mode.
-
Superior Scalability.
-
A New Quorum Model.
-
An Improved Security Model.
-
New Networking Capabilities and More Flexible Dependencies.
