SQL Server Standard High Availability (HA) with two nodes Is it possible to accomplish High Availability (HA) with two SQL Server Standard nodes ?


We can't use SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn without Groups as it has single point of failure by using the "single" database file
We can't use SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn with Groups because it's placed in Enterprise package and we don't have license for that
We can use any other SQL Server version but in Standard packaging level
We can't use mirroring because it requires a third SQL Server used as witness server 


Any other suggestions ? I have tried to find an answer all over the internet and didn't find anything. 

Thanks
Use Database Mirroring. Witness node is optional.

You may configure a failover cluster with virtual shared storage. There are guys who do the VSAN for Windows (however they call it "for Hyper-V" but don't get confused it works bare metal on Windows as well).
