Real World SQL Server High Availability Masterclass
Description changed:
Solutions for SQL Server High Availability have been around for nearly as long as the product itself but whilst many of them have reached maturity, most of them today are still very poorly understood. The reasons for this are many, and with every new SQL Server release not only are these technologies expanded upon but additional strategies arrive to provide an ever increasing arsenal of solutions for your Data Warehouse, OLTP, OLAP and Reporting servers. And if you thought all this was complicated enough there is also the ever changing landscape of complementary or dependent technologies to consider in your solutions, whether they be provided the Operating System, the Virtualisation layer or even the SAN storage provider. Yes it can all get very confusing! In this pre-conference session we shall explain how to design, plan, implement and maintain SQL Server Availability solutions laying not only the conceptual foundations for your learning, but the practical technical hands on know-how for Database (and Windows) administrators, Business Intelligence professionals and Technical Architects.
You will learn a selection of topics including (but not limited to):
The Psychology of HADR.
Windows 2012R2 and SQL Server 2014 HADR new features and improvements.
Business Intelligence High Availability.
Understanding Quorum.
Availability Group deployments and application scale.
Implementing Failover Clustering, Administration and Recovering from failure.
Server Core in High Available deployments.
Using and managing Virtualisation and Cloud for HADR.
