<h2>Feeling helpless and confused when dealing with Windows Server Failover Clustering  (WSFC) for your SQL Server databases?</h2>
<p>You&#8217;re not alone. I&#8217;ve heard the same thing from thousands of SQL Server administrators throughout my entire career. These are just a few of them.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>&#8220;How do I properly size the server, storage, network and all the AD settings which we do not have any control over?&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t quite understand how the Windows portion of the cluster operates and interacts with what SQL controls.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m unfamiliar with multi-site clustering.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;<em>Our servers are setup and configured by our parent company, so we don&#8217;t really get much experience with setting up Failover Clusters.</em>&#8220;</span></p>
<p>If you feel the same way, then, this course is for you. It&#8217;s a simple and easy-to-understand way for you to learn and master how Windows Server Failover Clusters can keep your SQL Server databases highly available. Be confident in designing, building and managing SQL Server databases running on Windows Server Failover Clusters.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t take my word for it. Here&#8217;s what my students have to say about the course.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>&#8220;The techniques presented were very valuable, and used them the following week when I was paged on an issue.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>&#8220;Thanks again for giving me confidence and teaching all this stuff about failover clusters.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>&#8220;I’m so gladdddddd that I took this course!!&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>&#8220;Now I got better knowledge to setup the Windows FC ENVIRONMENT (DC) for SQL Server FCI and AlwaysON.&#8221;</em></span></p>
