64-Node Clusters

Clustering provides redundancy of nodes in the cluster, but now with Windows Server 2012, an organization can have 64 nodes in the cluster, a significant improvement over the 16-node limit in earlier versions of Windows. With 64 nodes in a cluster, an organization can set up cluster nodes for high availability, for redundancy, and to serve as standby servers in the event of a server failure in the cluster. With potentially 64 nodes in the cluster, the organization can greatly improve high availability and continuous operations of the network systems.
