 # Deploy a cluster set
 
-> Applies to: Windows Server 2019
-
 This article provides information on how to deploy a cluster set for Windows Server Failover Clusters using PowerShell. A cluster set is a group of multiple failover clusters that are clustered together. By using a cluster set, you can increase the number of server nodes in a single Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) cloud by orders of magnitude.
 
 Cluster sets have been tested and supported up to 64 total cluster nodes. However, cluster sets can scale to much larger limits and aren't hardcoded for a limit.

 ### Management cluster
 
-The management cluster hosts the highly-available management plane and the namespace referral scale-out file server (SOFS) for the cluster set. A management cluster is logically decoupled from individual member clusters that run VM workloads. This makes the cluster set management plane resilient to any localized cluster-wide failures, such as loss of power of a member cluster.

-Azure Local and Windows Server clusters work best when every server has exactly the same drives.
+Storage Spaces Direct works best when every server has exactly the same drives.
 
 In reality, we recognize this isn't always practical. Today, you may buy spacious 3 TB hard drives; next year, it may become impossible to find drives that small. Therefore, some amount of mixing-and-matching is expected and supported. Keep in mind, however, that more symmetry is always better.

+Storage Spaces Direct is an underlying storage virtualization technology used in Windows Server to create highly available and scalable software-defined storage. It uses local drives in each server to create a storage pool that can be shared across the cluster.
