Both Windows and Linux can run various cluster configs
including active-active applications.

But if the subject line is correct (I have not watched the
video) then this is something else: the ability to deploy
apps and and data on new systems

In VMS terms something like you have:
- an empty AlphaServer
- backups of all disks
- uptodate logs from the database
and need to get that system up and running.
