More IT shops are facing hard choices. To get value from their investment in SANs, they need to optimize it for maximum capacity. To keep end users productive with SQL Server, they need predictable, stable performance in a highly available environment. Which do they choose? Do they incur the high cost of faster SAN performance or run SQL Server without the high availability protection of a SAN-based cluster? These are some of the questions Geoff will answer during this interactive webinar.

Microsoft MVP Geoff Hiten is a SQL Server consultant. Geoff began working with SQL Server in 1992 with version 4.2 and has used every version since then. He specializes in high-availability and high-performance SQL systems. Geoff is heavily involved in the Microsoft SQL Server Community and was initially awarded MVP status in 2004. Geoff currently works with the Atlanta MDF and SQL Saturday Atlanta organizing committee.

Press Release: Live Webinar: SQL Server HA and DR strategies that can cut your TCO by $800,000

by

SAN MATEO, CA – April 22, 2014 – SIOS Technology Corp. (www.us.sios.com), maker of SAN and #SANLess cluster software products, today announced a live webinar that will provide advice from Microsoft SQL Server expert Joey D’Antoni on high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) strategies that cut SQL licensing costs and eliminate the need for a SAN-based cluster. This webinar, “SQL Server HA and DR Strategies That Can Cut Your TCO,” is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29 at 10:00 AM PST / 1:00 PM EST.

During this webinar, Mr. D’Antoni will share the results of his analysis of SQL Server HA and DR TCO. He will discuss the licensing changes in SQL Server 2012 that are increasing the cost of SQL Server software needed for HA and DR and he will describe the costs associated with owning a SAN-based cluster. Mr. D’Antoni will outline an easy strategy for implementing high availability and disaster protection for SQL Server without the need for costly upgrades to SQL Server Enterprise Edition or the use of costly SAN storage. He will show how this strategy can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in TCO for typical enterprise SQL Server deployments with HA and DR protection.

Mr. D’Antoni is a senior architect with more than a decade of experience working in both Fortune 500 and smaller firms. He is currently a solutions architect for SQL Server and Big Data for Anexinet in Blue Bell, PA. He is a frequent speaker at major tech events, and blogs regularly about a variety of technology topics. He believes that no single platform is the answer to all technology problems. He holds an MSCE BI, a BS in CIS from Louisiana Tech University and an MBA from North Carolina State University.
