Using high-availability clusters in a forest of trees topology Use a high-availability cluster to ensure that all servers retain access to the replication system in a forest of trees topology. For example, in Forest-of-Trees Topology , Asia, Europe, China, and Guangzhou should use high-availability clusters to provide backup servers, as illustrated in High-Availability Clusters in a Forest-of-Trees Topology .
