SQL Clustering 101: Building Clusters to Protect SQL Server in Cloud Configurations
In this webinar, Microsoft MVP, Dave Bermingham reviews innovative SQL Server cluster configurations that are allowing enterprises to leverage the flexibility and cost savings of AWS, Azure, and other cloud environments. Learn how you can create a high availability SQL cluster in a cloud or add a node to an on-premises cluster for disaster protection without the cost of a DR site. He also discusses the challenges these configurations are addressing in real-world enterprises and provides expert insight into how to choose the best configuration for your SQL Server environment.
Key Takeaways:
• Cloud High Availability Essentials: Dave breaks down cloud concepts, the importance of HA in the cloud, and how cloud providers' built-in redundancy doesn't guarantee complete HA protection.
• SQL Server HA Options: The webinar compares SQL Server Always On Availability Groups and sandless failover clusters, emphasizing the latter's support for SQL Server Standard Edition and more flexible data protection.
• Clustering Technologies Explained: Dave details how sandless failover clusters use real-time block-level replication to synchronize local storage across cloud regions and on-premises environments.
• Hybrid Cloud Configurations: Learn how enterprises can extend their on-premises clusters to the cloud for cost-effective disaster recovery with synchronized data protection.
• Real-World Case Studies: Dave shares how organizations like Gulliver International and a leading online gaming company leverage sandless clusters for HA and DR in the cloud, balancing performance and cost efficiency.
