Hi,

We are planning to have sql server failover clstering.
Since server failover clustering is only for hardware redundancy not the
databases. I still need 2 physical sql boxes(primary one is cluster server)
by using replication or log shipping.
My question is that why I need a expensice cluster server instead of regualr
sql server?

Thanks,

.
