Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two member
servers named Server1 and Server2. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 and Server2 have the Failover Clustering feature installed. The servers are configured as nodes in a
failover cluster named Cluster1.
You add two additional nodes to Cluster1.
You have a folder named Folder1 on Server1 that contains Application data.
You plan to provide continuously available access to Folder1.
You need to ensure that all of the nodes in Cluster1 can actively respond to the client requests for Folder1.

The Scale-Out File Server
Explanation:
Scale-Out File Server is a feature that is designed to provide scale-out file shares that are continuously
available for file-based server application storage. Scale-out file shares provides the ability to share the same
folder from multiple nodes of the same cluster.
Note: You can deploy and configure a clustered file server by using either of the following methods:
* Scale-Out File Server for Application data (Scale-Out File Server)
* File Server for general use
Scale-Out File Server for Application data (Scale-Out File Server) This clustered file server is introduced in
Windows Server 2012 R2 and lets you store server Application data, such as Hyper-V virtual machine files, on
file shares, and obtain a similar level of reliability, availability, manageability, and high performance that you
would expect from a storage area network. All file shares are online on all nodes simultaneously. File shares
associated with this type of clustered file server are called scale-out file shares. This is sometimes referred to
as active-active.

■■ When you choose to configure a File Server role for clustering, you must choose a File
Server For General Use or a Scale-Out File Server For Application Data. A File Server
For General Use is typically used to support users who want to store files on file shares.
A Scale-Out File Server can be used to ensure that an application that connects to a
file share doesn’t generate errors during failover. In addition, a Scale-Out File Server
works on many live nodes at a time, so every additional node you add enables the
cluster to handle more requests.
