When you create a set of virtual machines in a cluster, it makes them highly available. The problem occurs when your SAN storage fails or too many nodes fail in the cluster. There is also a risk of an internet outage, or fire or flood that would make that location unusable. Fortunately, there is a way to deal with these issues by replicating the virtual machines offsite. In the Failover Cluster Manager is we can replicate the virtual machines in another location using Hyper-V on Server 2012 R2.
