The SQL Server Availability Guide
Introducing the SQL Server Availability Guide, the result of ten years of real-world, battle-tested, production-proven experience of Marathon partners and customers, Microsoft MVPs and our own application availability experts.
Join Bob Boule, director of product management at Marathon Technologies, as he provides an overview of this invaluable resource, including:
- Application availability requirements of the always-on world.
- New levels of availability SQL Server pros can implement now to meet organizational requirements.
- The full range of availability options, from traditional fail and recover HA products and approaches to the latest symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and multi-core fault tolerant software.
- The difference between local SQL Server availability options and disaster recovery
- Profiles of organizations that have successfully protected SQL Server from unplanned downtime…for years!
In addition to the webinar, you'll also have the opportunity to download a copy of the SQL Server Availability Guide and the slide presentation that accompanies this webinar.
Controlling SQL Server Sprawl:
"The Consolidation Conundrum and Always-On Imperative.”
SQL Server sprawl describes far-flung SQL Server deployments scattered across an organization. SQL Server sprawl has many disadvantages, including management challenges, poor resource utilization, and high infrastructure costs.
Join Denny Cherry, a Microsoft® Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for SQL Server and author of four books and dozens of articles on SQL Server, for a Marathon Technologies Microsoft MVP Series Webinar.
The webinar will cover:
- How SQL Server sprawl occurs and why you need to address it.
- Reining in SQL Server sprawl through consolidation.
- The risks of SQL Server consolidation without addressing availability.
- Traditional High Availability approaches and why five nines availability is not enough.
- An Always-On platform for SQL Server consolidation.
Consolidation is a proven means of eliminating SQL Server sprawl by reducing instances. But this means that fewer servers are hosting multiple databases. Unplanned downtime on any one server can have significant, negative impact on many more downstream applications. Ensuring SQL Server availability should be part of any SQL Server consolidation strategy.
Don’t Let Failure be an Option
Databases are “stateful” entities – failure will result in loss of integrity. Don’t settle for fail and recover to protect your most mission-critical SQL Server databases and applications. Learn about new technology and best practices for providing continuous, uninterrupted SQL Server uptime in physical, virtual and blended environments.
If SQL Server is at the heart of your IT infrastructure, only everRun MX with ComputeThru™ technology can ensure continuous availability of the mission-critical databases and applications it runs. Marathon Technologies enables SQL pros to provide uninterrupted SQL Server uptime by preventing downtime, not just reacting to it.
Seeing is Believing
Watch a live, on-camera demo of everRun® MX from Marathon Technologies, the only fault-tolerant software that unconditionally ensures SQL Server availability. Watch as a SQL Server pair protected by everRun MX experiences failed disks, disabled NIC cards and disruption of power, but computes through without data corruption or a single lost transaction.

“Exchange Server: Predictions, Practicalities and Performance”
2011 Means Momentum for Exchange Server: What Will Your Move Be?
Tony Redmond, a Microsoft® Most Valuable Professional (MVP) and author of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Inside Out, shares predictions and practical advice for selecting, optimizing and protecting Exchange Server.
Tony elaborates on four major Exchange Server developments in 2011:
- Migration. Mainstream support for Exchange 2003, the majority of the Exchange installed base, ended in 2009. Do you move to Exchange 2010? And when? What are the trade-offs?
- Refresh. Migrations always mean some refreshes, but Exchange 2010 will require more than previous versions, including potentially significant core infrastructure optimization. What else should you think about when upgrading front- and back-end servers, OS and storage?
- Virtualization goes mainstream. Consolidation is only the beginning. Where do you start?
- Availability improvements become a priority. What are the benefits...and limitations...of the Database Availability Group (DAG)?
Upgrading to Exchange 2010? Now is the time to upgrade availability.
Already running Exchange 2010? Fill DAG protection gaps.
