1 Standalone to SQL Server HA Clusters in Minutes

2 Failover Cluster Instances Instance- level failover Applica:on, OS, and infrastructure protec:on Fast, automated failover Free hdps://technet.microsog.com/en- us/library/dd aspx 2

3 Availability Groups Fail over groups of databases Mul:ple secondary replicas Included in EE Applica:on, OS, and infrastructure protec:on hdps://msdn.microsog.com/en- us/library/hh aspx 3

4 & Management Challenges Everything must be like- for- like Challenges mul:ply on VMs Difficult at scale Networking challenges Update & migra:on pain Can t cluster standalone 4

5 Cost Large clusters/ags require Enterprise Edi:on Enterprise OS requirements Standard Edi:on ogen results in 1- instance 2- node clusters 5

6 A Different Approach 3 rd party clustering solu:on called DxEnterprise OSes have no understanding they are clustered - no WSFC Avoids MicrosoG rules and complexi:es Go from standalone to clustered in minutes 6

7 Minimal Pre- requisites Meet minimum system requirements Nodes must be able to ping each other» IP addresses must be bind- able to an adapter» Interfaces can not auto update DNS.NET 4.x installed on host Firewall excep:on All nodes for any workload must have access to shared &/or replicated disk 7

9 DxEnterprise is Workload Portability Applica:on mobility - Any SQL Server instance, Windows Service(s) or File shares From ANY host to ANY host anywhere All with dependent data intact 9

10 A Vhost is a Lightweight Host Abstrac@on Server name and IP address Creates consistent applica:on endpoint Executes managed applica:ons on local host Disks follow 10
