Is It Possible To Configure a SQL Fail-over Cluster Without Shared Storage?

$

Hello Spiceworks Community,

I have an upcoming project with Microsoft NAV where the client wants high availability in case 1 server goes down.

We have 2 hosts which will each host a Domain Controller and File server with DFS Replication for failover of domain and file services so i am covered from that aspect: however wanting some more info about SQL and application failover.

I know in the past failover clusters required shared storage for database and application failover, but i have read that with the release of Server 2012 that is no longer the case.

My question is can I achieve Database and App failover without having a SAN.

In my head the setup would look like this

Host 1: SQL01 & NAVAPP01

Host 2: SQL02 & NAVAPP02

In the case that host 1 goes down there would be real time replication occurring so that the cluster would just point to SQL02...
