Course 70113: Configuring High Availability and Virtualization

Introduction This course introduces you to two Windows Server® 2008 technologies for making servers highly available• Network Load Balancing (NLB) and failover clustering. By implementing NLB and failover clustering, you can ensure that your network servers and the content contained on them are available to users. The course also describes how to configure virtualization in Windows Server® 2008. Hyper-V™ enables you to create a virtualized computing environment using the hypervisor technology that is part of Windows Server® 2008. By implementing virtualization, you can improve the efficiency of your computing resources by utilizing more of your hardware resources. Objectives At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• In this course, you will configure high availability and virtualization in Windows Server 2008.
