Failover Clustering Fault Tolerance Technical
Guide

NTC 324 Assignment Week 4 Individual Failover Clustering Fault
Tolerance Technical Guide
A failover cluster is a group of independent computers that work
together to enhance the availability of applications and services. Failover
clusters provide the fault tolerance and high availability of network
services. If one of the nodes in the cluster fails, the other node takes over
and begins to provide the service – a process known as failover.
Using the Practice Lab “Managing Hyper-V Fault Tolerance Using
Failover Clustering” as an example, create a 3- to 4-page technical guide
that documents each task for the following activities:
Prepare system requirements for failover clustering
Install and configure failover clustering

Install virtual machine role on failover cluster
Manage failover clustering
Include screenshots of the successful execution of each of the above
activities. Your technical guide should not only document how to
accomplish each of the above tasks, but should also document, with
screenshots, the successful completion of each of the tasks in the
Microsoft®Windows Server® 2016 Practice Labs environment.
Submit your technical guide to the Assignment Files tab.

Performance Bottlenecks Technical Guide
NTC 324 Assignment Week 5 Individual Performance Bottlenecks
Technical Guide
Bottlenecks happen when a computer resource (CPU, disk, memory,
network interface, and/or process) reaches its capacity, causing the
performance of the entire system to slow down. Bottlenecks are usually
caused by insufficient or misconfigured resources or faulty system
components and frequent requests for resources by an application.
Rerun the section “Detecting System Bottlenecks” of the Practice Lab
“Managing Server Performance.”
Complete the tasks for “Download Tools to Create System Bottlenecks”
and “Create System Bottlenecks in CPU.”
Using the information from the lab and your observations, create a 2- to
3-page technical guide. In this guide, discuss how performance
bottlenecks occur in the Windows Server® 2016 operating system.
Identify what a system administrator can do to remove these bottlenecks
from the system and improve system performance. Also, discuss how
containers can be used to improve performance and isolate environments

in Windows Server® 2016.
Submit your technical guide document to the Assignment Files tab.
