TechNet Webcast: Failover Clustering and Quorum in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Storage (Level 300)1

Overview This webcast covers the new cluster storage architecture and describes how the new quorum model works in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise. The presenter explores the new way that how shared storage is managed, how clustering is now totally Storage Area Network (SAN) friendly, how failover clusters arbitrate for disks to determine what to do when things go wrong, and what the other enhancements are. The attendee will learn why deploying Windows Server 2008 failover clusters can be a key win to the SAN infrastructure.
