Cluster Shared Volumes

Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) are a storage feature in Windows Server that allows multiple servers in a cluster to access the same storage simultaneously. This setup simplifies management and improves performance for applications like virtual machine hosting, enabling quick migration and high availability. Think of CSVs as a shared drive accessible by many servers, coordinating access seamlessly so data remains consistent and accessible even if one server experiences issues. This setup is ideal for environments requiring robust, scalable storage solutions that support continuous operation.
