3 Agenda Introduction Why Hybrid? How to integrate? Hybrid solutions Backups to Azure Managed Backups Database files in Azure Low-cost DR. Old data archival. Azure AG Replica. Streched table

4 WHY HYBRID?

5 Why Hybrid? The cloud is being more and more part of our lives. Probably you are not using a pendrive as before and SQL Server is no different! The cloud brough benefits and options to improve our HA and DR strategies. Economical Scalable Elastic

10 HOW TO INTEGRATE?

11 How to integrate? We can easly build hybrid environments. It s easy to integrate On-Premises and Azure. Internet

12 Internet Connectivity Access over the internet (Comsumers). Workstation Single Service Using a public IP. Connect from anywhere DNS resolution. Ports are opened on Azure Portal. E.g.: Connect to an Azure VM, over RDP. Internet

13 Point-to-site (P2S) IPSec VPN Useful for simple deployments. Workstation vnetwork (one or more services). One way connection. Client computer (the point) connects to an Azure vnet (the site). Allows the client to access a service in Azure. E.g.: VM or Database.

14 Site-to-site (S2S) IPSec VPN Complex deployment. On-Pre network Azure vnet (many to many) Enterprises, SMB. Done at network level. Can be done using RRAS. Conects a group of servers to a vnet in Azure. Allows complete solutions: E.g.: AD replication, AG Replica.

15 ExpressRoute Variation of Site-to-Site. Enterprises, SMB. Connects using a private network. Looks like an extension of your datacenter. Done through a service provider. Better performance and security. You don t expose your traffic in the internet. Expensive option. Need to pay an extra service.

16 ExpressRoute Possible ExpressRoute deployments

17 ExpressRoute Possible ExpressRoute deployments Azure becomes another site on customer s network. WAN Connection from a WAN provided by a Network Service Provicer.

19 Hybrid Solutions BACKUP TO AZURE

20 Backups to Azure We can do backups to Azure! (SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2+) Eliminate tapes Less hassle. Unlimited storage Less worries. Pay-per-Use Offsite Backups. Geo-Redundant. Disaster recovery solution Minimizes the overall costs

21 Backups to Azure Steps to follow: 1. Create an Azure Storage under your account. 2. Create a container to store the files. A backup file will be stored in Azure Storage as a Binary Large Object (Blob). A file of any type and size.

22 Backups to Azure Steps to follow: 3. Download Publishing Profile 4. Create the Credentials.

23 Backups to Azure Steps to follow: 4. Proceed with the backup. Tip: Use backup compression.

24 Backups to Azure Tools 4. Azure Storage Explorer

27 Hybrid Solutions MANAGED BACKUPS

Managed Backups Managed Backups Introduced in SQL Server 2014.

28 Managed Backups Managed Backups Introduced in SQL Server Automates and manages SQL Server backups based on a retention period. From 1 to 30 days.

29 Managed Backups Managed Backups FULL Backup schedule: When Managed backup is enabled. The log grows more than 1Gb. The last FULL Backup is 1 week older. When the log backup chain breaks.

30 Managed Backups Managed Backups Log Backup schedule: When a FULL Backup is performed. When there are no log backups (ever). If the t-log grows more than 5Mb. When the last log backup is 2 hours older.

32 Hybrid Solutions DATABASE FILES IN AZURE

33 Database Files in Azure Database files in Azure Blob Storage New feature of SQL Server Added to SQL Server 2012 from Service Pack 1 - CU2 Supports data and log files. On-Premises Azure

34 Database Files in Azure Database files in Azure Blob Storage Steps: 1. Create a Credential in the SQL Server instance. Shared Access Signature (SAS)

35 Database Files in Azure Database files in Azure Blob Storage Steps: 1. Create a Credential in the SQL Server instance. This is not a simple process. I used a method with PowerShell, explained at this blog:

36 Database Files in Azure Database files in Azure Blob Storage Steps: 1. Create a Credential in the SQL Server instance. 2. Create a credential. The credential name = Container Path. 3. Create/attach the dabase pointing to that container.

37 Database Files in Azure D E M O

38 Low-Cost Disaster Recovery Azure storage is useful for more! Build a simple Disaster Recovery solution. Do not forget to save a copy of db level objects in Azure Storage.

40 Archival Solution Azure storage is useful for more! Build a simple data archival model. By partitioning a table and sending older data to Azure. Filegroups PRIMARY FG1 FG2 FGn FGAzure Files Local MDF file Local NDF file Local NDF file Local NDF file NDF file in Azure

41 Archival Solution Azure storage is useful for more! Build a simple data archival model. By partitioning a table and sending older data to Azure. Partitoned Table Partition with old data uses the Azure Filegroup

43 Hybrid Solutions AVAILABILITY GROUPS

44 AG Replica Availability Group supports replicas in Azure Since SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2+ Works as a DR and LB strategy. Offload workload (reports, backups,...). Low-cost DR strategy.

45 AG Replica Availability Group supports replicas in Azure A wizard that helps on this task SQL Server 2014+

46 AG Replica Availability Group supports replicas in Azure Or you can join manually Deploy the Azure VM 2. Join into the domain 3. Join into the cluster 4. Enbale HADR feature. 5. Joint to AG. 6. Start syncing the databases.

47 Hybrid Solutions STRECHED TABLE

48 Cold Data Hot Data Streched Table Archive data using stretched tables. Comming with SQL Servr Your data is always growing... Probably you won t need all the data on regular basis! We can pass closed data to Azure... and this is transparent!
