Webinar: Leveraging Storage Spaces Direct for SQL Server High Availability

Webinar: Leveraging Storage Spaces Direct for SQL Server High Availability

Windows Server 2016 introduced storage capabilities that made it possible to deploy SQL Server failover clustered instances (FCI) without the traditional storage area network (SAN) arrays. In this webinar, learn how you can leverage Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) for deploying SQL Server failover clustered instances to provide high availability to your SQL Server databases. We also look at some of the things to watch out for when deploying SQL Server FCIs on S2D.

Webinar: SQL Server in The Cloud: High Availability and Disaster Recovery in Azure, AWS and Google

If you are considering moving your SQL Server instances to “The Cloud” you will need to have a plan in place for both high availability and disaster recovery. In this webinar about moving SQL Server to the cloud, we examine the three top public cloud providers and what they have to offer in terms of both high availability and disaster recovery. We discuss where the providers are the same and where they differ. Dave also presents some real-life customer configurations.

Webinar: Surprise! Welcome to your First Cloud Bill

Webinar: Surprise! Welcome to your First Cloud Bill

One of the many promises of cloud computing is that it can be more cost-effective than traditional on-premises data centers. However, when many organizations migrate their workloads to the cloud, they experience sticker shock in the first couple of months. In this webinar you will learn about:

• How doing a simple lift and shift migration may result in higher costs
• Taking advantage of cloud options to reduce your costs
• Long-term design patterns for building more cost-effective system architectures
• Strategies for managing usage by department or organization
• Designing cost-effective high availability and disaster recovery solutions

This is a complex topic–in this webinar, you will learn about the whys and how-tos of making your cloud investments more effective.

Webinar: DBAs versus Sysadmins in cloud availability

Database and system administrators have historically had different perspectives on many topics such as high availability, disaster recovery, and performance tuning. Since one silo generally does not have full visibility into the other silos, the age-old shouting match exists when an availability challenge occurs. “Your systems must have the issue, not mine!” is a constant theme during these situations. However, moving these critical systems to the cloud presents some new challenges. Availability becomes an even more critical topic, as outages can occur more randomly than with on-premises systems, and the two sides must work more closely to achieve system availability that meets their organization’s SLAs.

Watch the webinar to learn tips on how to work with your system administrators to achieve a higher level of ability for your critical SQL Servers in the cloud.
