If there is a security topic you'd like to see more info on, post a note to the article or email us at articles@sqlservercentral.com.

In this session we’ll rapidly discuss the MSCS clustering architecture and deploying the system into your environment. We’ll then jump into a demo where we actually cluster a Windows and SQL Server system in under 60 minutes.

After this session, you should have just enough information to build you own SQL Server that is highly available.
