What should you configure?

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. 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:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831349.aspx
Scale-Out File Server for application data(Scale-Out File Server) – This clustered file server is introduced in
Windows Server 2012 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.

“You need to ensure that all of the nodes in Cluster1 can actively respond to the client requests for Folder1” … SOFS allows this but file server for general use does not (see below what I found on a TechNet blog)
“Simultaneous active shares – This is the actual “scale-out” part of SOFS. Every cluster node makes the CA shares accessible simultaneously, rather than one node hosting a share actively and the others available to host it after a failover.”
