3 ABOUT THE AUTHOR Steve Thompson PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SENIOR CONSULTANT Steve has achieved MVP (Microsoft Valuable Professional) every year since With a background in Windows Server, SQL Server, as DBA and advocate for SQL Server technology, started working with Systems Management Server when it was a v1.1 release. Steve tends to specialize in System Center products, however, has a deep and wide knowledge of the Microsoft infrastructure. Industry speaker has presented at numerous Microsoft Management Summit events.first awarded MVP in Microsoft Access in Dec 1995, transitioned into SQL Server MVP for a few years before joining the System Center team as a Configuration Manager MVP Author: System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager: A Practical Handbook for Reporting. Contributing author for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Unleashed (SAMS) and expert on SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services). Presented at Microsoft TechEd 2014 event to over 1,100 attendees. 3
4 Business value of SQL Server 2016 Enhancements Technology is at the forefront of the transformation of all businesses. The disruptive transformation is driven by three major trends: The explosion of data, Intelligence from machine learning and advanced analytics and Economics and agility of cloud computing Databases were not designed with such disruption in mind, until now. Microsoft built SQL Server 2016 for this new world, and to help businesses get ahead of today s continuous evolution. It supports advanced analytics and machine learning, hybrid transactional/analytical processing, mobile BI, data integration, always encrypted query processing capabilities and in-memory transactions. It s cloud-first approach allows its features to be first deployed and tested in Azure, across 22 global datacenters and billions of requests per day. Not only does SQL Server 2016 offer 100X faster analytics, it is also the only commercial database that leads simultaneously in both transaction processing and data warehousing. Therefore, this allows you to realize incredible performance against massive data sets and gain real-time insights across all workloads. SQL s unique hybrid capabilities enable deployment on private clouds, hosted clouds and public clouds including Microsoft Azure. New Stretch Database technology allows you to dynamically, transparently and securely stretch your transactional data to Azure, creating a massive database with great price performance. With the proliferation of the latest security threats, SQL Server 2016 is designed with security in mind. SQL holds the honor of being be the industry s least vulnerable database, six years running, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) public security board. Superior capabilities in SQL Server 2016 help protect data at rest and in memory (Always Encrypted), encrypt all user data with low performance overhead (Transparent Data Encryption), and mitigate attacks with support for Transport Layer Security version 1.2. The new SQL Server 2016 delivers not just a relational database, but an entire data platform for your business with incredible TCO. 4
5 Migration Options One of the challenges of upgrading SQL Server to the latest version, is deciding the proper upgrade path. There are several options available. These will be described next along with advantages and disadvantages. Planning your SQL migration carefully is critical in minimizing the risk of potential downtime or data loss. In-place Upgrade An In-place migration from SQL Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 (on premise) to SQL Server 2016 is supported. When SQL Server is upgraded, the previous SQL Server instance will be overwritten and will no longer exist on your server. The proper way to implement an in-place upgrade is to use the SQL Server Installation Wizard, to upgrade existing SQL Server components to SQL Server Before upgrading, be sure to have a reliable back up of your SQL Server databases and files associated with your SQL Server Instance. Advantages: Simple, wizard driven process SQL Server upgraded upon completion May be appropriate for lab or development environments Disadvantages: Possible binaries left behind due to upgrade No real back out plan if upgrade fails No recourse if applications can no longer access SQL Instance Existing Operating System remains (disadvantage if previous version) Reference >> 5
6 Side-by-side Migration The side-by-side migration involves setting up a new SQL Server 2016 instance on a new Windows Server. Additional planning is required to implement this migration option. There are several approaches for the side-by-side migration of the databases. 1) Use the traditional SQL Server database backup and restore 2) Detach the database files, copy database files to the new server and reattach the database files 3) Use the Copy Database Wizard to migrate the databases to the new server Note: Of the three methods, backing up and restoring databases is the author s favorite. Advantages: Easier rollback strategy, if something goes wrong, change connection strings to point back to the prior server. Excellent opportunity to refresh server hardware (or introduce virtualization!) Excellent opportunity to refresh the operating system. (Chances are that SQL Server 2008 R2 instance is running on Windows Server 2008) Ability to run SQL Servers side-by-side for testing and verification Best for large databases because restore time could be sizable Disadvantages: Does not preserve SQL Server 2008 (or 2005) functionality Instance name will need to change for connecting applications 6
7 Azure Migration Prior versions of SQL Server are supported in Microsoft Azure, however, SQL Server 2016 has added a number of new features and options for cloud based support. Azure Options Azure SQL Database part of the PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering allows the migration of a SQL Server database (and a few non-sql Server databases as well) to Azure SQL Database. This solution may be appropriate for databases that are external facing. This is a lower cost solution with lower maintenance requirements. Use the Deploy a SQL Server Database to a Microsoft Azure SQL Database wizard to assist in database migration. Azure SQL Managed Instance this is Microsoft s latest PaaS offering. Managed Instance is designed to offer a full SQL Server Instance experience, without the need to manage the Windows Server or SQL Server layers. The Managed Instance provides near 100% compatibility with the latest SQL Server on-premises (Enterprise Edition) Database Engine. It also provides a native virtual network (VNet) implementation that addresses common security concerns and is fully compatible with most, if not all SQL Server databases. There are a few techniques to achieve this service offering: Use the Deploy a SQL Server Database to a Microsoft Azure VM wizard, Traditional backup and restore to the Azure SQL Server Instance Detach, copy and reattach database files Convert existing on-premise machine to Hyper-V VHDs and upload to Azure Extended Database also known as a stretch database, you can stretch warm and cold transactional data dynamically from SQL Server to Microsoft Azure with SQL Server Stretch Database. Unlike typical cold data storage, your data is always online and available to query. Applications do not need to change queries to access data in either local or remote databases. You can reduce on-premise data maintenance since cold data is automatically transferred to Azure based on defined settings. Hybrid DR / High Availability Always On Availability Groups (AOAG) - SQL Server 2016 AlwaysOn Availability Groups use Windows Azure in a couple of different ways. On-premises SQL Server instances can use the new Windows Azure configuration options in the AlwaysOn Availability Group wizard (Add Azure Replica Wizard) to create one or more asynchronous secondary replicas on Windows Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) services. This enables you to manually fail over to a SQL Server instance running on Windows Azure. As with a typical secondary replica, Windows Azure replicas can be used to offload reporting workloads and to perform backups. 7
8 In addition, you can also use SQL Server 2016 AlwaysOn Availability Groups to provide high availability for SQL Server databases hosted in Windows Azure. SQL Server 2016 instances running on Windows Azure IaaS Services can configure a synchronous secondary replica in Azure for automatic failover in case of server or VM failure. Reference >> Other Considerations SSRS (SQL Services Reporting Services) Include a migration plan for Reporting Services as well. There are two general paths to upgrade an SSRS environment - upgrade or migrate. Upgrade Using the in-place upgrade technique mentioned earlier, upgrade the SSRS components where they are installed. This technique cannot be used to move the SSRS instance between Modes. For example, an in-place upgrade could not be used to migrate the SSRS instance from Native Mode to SharePoint Mode. Migrate Similar to the side-by-side migration strategy, a new SSRS instance is enabled; either in Native or SharePoint Mode. A copy of the existing SSRS reports, encryption keys and required configuration files are copied to the new SSRS instance. Reference >> Microsoft has provided a number of techniques to upgrade or migrate SQL Server from previous versions. With proper design, planning and selection of available SQL Server migration options, downtime can be kept to a minimum. More importantly, business critical applications will have a more robust and reliable data platform when complete. Continue >>> 8
9 SQL Licensing SQL Server is licensed in two different models depending on the edition of SQL. The licensing models are Server/CAL and Per Core. The different editions are Standard edition, Business Intelligence edition, and Enterprise edition Licensing Options Server/CAL Per Core Microcoft SQL Server Standard Microcoft SQL Server Business Intelligence Microcoft SQL Server Enterprise Available Available Not Available Available Not Available Available What does Server/CAL licensing mean? Server/CAL licensing is very common among Microsoft products. A SQL Server license is required for each server (either a physical server or a virtual machine) that SQL will be installed on. A CAL (Client Access License) is then required for every end user or end device that will be accessing that SQL instance directly or indirectly. Directly is a simple enough concept. This means anyone who logs into the SQL Server to directly update data or to create rows, columns, or queries. Indirectly accessing SQL is something many are not aware of, but means if an end user or end device is accessing an application that has SQL as a backend database that is either storing or querying the data. This even applies to multiple intermediary devices or applications. For example, a customized CRM solution is built on top of SharePoint and SQL is a backend requirement for SharePoint. Even though end users would only be directly accessing the custom CRM solution and even though there are possibly multiple physical servers/devices between the SQL backend and the end user, a CAL is still needed. The CALs can be licensed for either per user or per device, and are the same cost regardless. Per User A licensed user can access SQL directly or indirectly from any device they need. This is a good option when a single user will be accessing SQL via multiple devices. Per Device Any user can access SQL directly or indirectly from that licensed device. This is a good option when a single device is shared between multiple users and those users will not be accessing the SQL from other devices. 9
10 Should I use Per User or Per Device? The following diagram shows where per user licensing would be most effective. A single end user is accessing SQL indirectly (multiplexing through multiple other servers), but using multiple devices. The single user CAL is more cost effective than purchasing three device CALs. SQL Application Server Application Server The following diagram shows where per device licenses would be most effective. Multiple end users are using a single device to access SQL indirectly (multiplexing through multiple other servers) but using a single device. The single device CAL is more cost effective than purchasing three user CALs. SQL Application Server Application Server Softchoice Tip: While SQL CALs are the same cost whether they are per device or per user, other CALs (like Windows Server) are not. Please contact Softchoice for advice on your particular use case to ensure you re optimally licensed across your entire solution. 10
11 What does Per Core licensing mean? Per Core licensing negates the need for CALs and instead requires licensing of the number of cores on the server. With this licensing model, you must look at whether SQL is installed in a physical environment or a virtual environment. For SQL installed on a physical server (so a non-virtualized instance), you must license all of the physical cores on the machine. For example: a two processor, 6 cores per processor machine would require 12 cores of SQL licensing (2 proc * 6 cores each = 12 cores required). For SQL installed on a virtual server, you must license the number of virtual cores (v-cores) that are allocated to the VM that SQL is installed on, with a minimum of 4 cores of licensing per VM. What is a v-core? A v-core is a virtual processor, virtual CPU, or virtual thread depending on the terminology you re familiar with and the terminology that your hyper-visor uses. For licensing purposes, a v-core maps to a hardware thread on the physical processor. Should I License Per Core or S/CAL? There are two considerations to think about when answering this question: 1. Is the solution that SQL is a part of externally facing or not? If it is externally facing, it should be licensed per core since providing a CAL for a large number of external users would be cost prohibitive, and likely impossible to compliantly track. 2. Comparing the cost of the number of cores in question versus the number of servers and CALs required. At Softchoice, we are happy to do this comparison for you, walk you through the results, and help you make an informed decision. 11
12 Software Assurance for SQL Software Assurance (SA) grants much more than simply upgrade rights when it comes to SQL. SA includes benefits that are very important when it comes to how you use and license SQL within your environment. Free Passive Instance SQL and the data that is contained and processed by SQL is usually critical to the business and downtime is very rarely acceptable. As such, a best practice is to have both an Active SQL instance and a Passive SQL instance running in the event of a crash of the Active SQL instance. The Passive instance, which has had data replicated to it can pick up where the primary left off which enables minimal interruption to the business until the primary instance is back up and running. Most Microsoft licensing requires an individual license be purchased for each instance if they are both turned on and running at the same time. With SQL with SA, the passive instance is free so long as there is no active workload being put on the passive instance, except in case of failure of the primary. The below diagram gives an active/passive SQL diagram in which only the Active SQL with SA needs to be licensed. The passive instance is free. Application Server Active SQL with SA 12 cores Passive SQL 12 cores 12
13 License Mobility Rights Software Assurance gives a right called License Mobility which allows for SQL Server licenses to move dynamically from one physical host to another physical host within a server farm as often as needed. It also allows you to host your own SQL license on a 3rd party server (Azure for instance). License Mobility within Server Farms One benefit of virtualization is the ability for a VM to move from physical host to physical host depending on fault tolerance, load balancing, or failover. The right for a SQL VM to move dynamically from physical host to physical host as often as desired is a function of Software Assurance. Without SA, the VM is only able to move to a new physical host once every 90 days. For SQL installed on a VM, we always recommend software assurance. Licensed Mobility within 3rd party datacenters As hosting and public cloud solutions become more and more common, Microsoft has provided a Software Assurance right to help clients maximize their IT investment around SQL by allowing a Bring Your Own License (BYOL) option for SQL with SA. When you use a VM in the cloud, you pay for two things on a per/minute basis: cost of the hardware and cost of the operating system. You can also provision a VM within cloud providers like Azure to include a product like SQL. This adds to your cost per minute by including the license cost for SQL. Alternatively, you can BYOL of SQL to Azure, install it on the VM you have provisioned, and still only pay for the hardware and OS cost (you have already paid for your license of SQL). Unlimited Virtualization Specific to SQL Enterprise Per Core licensing with SA, if you license all of the physical cores on a host server, you can have unlimited SQL on that host server upon which you have just licensed all of the physical cores. SQL in Test/Dev Environments When licensing a test/dev environment, an organization should use MSDN licenses instead of production licenses. MSDN licenses are user based licenses and allow for licensed users to deploy, use and access Microsoft products for test/dev use, without having to purchase full production licenses. 13
14 FAQ Q: If I only have one component of SQL Server installed on a server, do I need a license? A: Yes, any component of SQL Server installed on a server requires that the server be licensed. However, if you have already licensed a server, you can install multiple components on that already licensed server. Q: For Test/Dev, what specific MSDN license do I need? A: Different MSDN subscriptions have different Test/Dev allowances. I recommend speaking with Softchoice to discuss your unique situation to ensure you re optimally licensed. Q: What is the Microsoft definition of Test/Dev? A: If a system or environment is connected to live production data, it is production. Q: If I have multiple SQL Servers in the S/CAL model, do I need multiple CALs for a single user to access those? A: No, a single SQL CAL will license the User to access ANY of your SQL Servers that you have in your production environment. Q: If I own SQL Enterprise, can I deploy and run Standard? A: Yes, SQL is one of the few Microsoft products with down-edition rights in which you can license with Enterprise but run the lesser version, Standard, instead. 14
