When you create a SQL Server failover cluster, the entire cluster instance appears as a single computer on the network. However, there are multiple functional servers on the back end. When a failure happens, the failover cluster allows a new node, which was not the current node, to become the current node. When this new current node fails, another node in the cluster is given the responsibility of owning the resource group. In this solution, both the user databases and system databases are provided the highest availability when a failure occurs.
