Over the years, Tungsten Clustering has grown and matured. Early on, in response to our customers' needs, we introduced the concept of the Passive Witness to allow for clusters with only two nodes. Normally, a cluster requires three nodes to create a voting quorum, which requires an odd number of members to avoid split-brain scenarios. It is the Witness which provides the tie-breaker in the event of a network partition.
