  • SQL Availability: Protecting Your Database and Applications

    Protecting SQL Server and its databases is a top priority for many businesses, but it is generally not enough. If associated SQL applications are not also protected, business operations can be disrupted. Almost all database applications include a separate application element that includes application logic, user interface control and sometimes communication with other applications or networks. Applications may include in-memory data or file system data, in addition to SQL Server data, all adding to the complexity of the protection challenge.

    Speakers:
    -Stephen Wynkoop, founder, SSWUG.org
    -Michael Bilancieri, Senior Director of Products at Marathon Technologies

    Presented by SQL expert Stephen Wynkoop, founder of SSWUG.org, this webinar will cover:

    • Best practices for reducing or eliminating failures
    • Why SQL high availability must protect both the SQL database and the applications running on it
    • Tailoring the levels of availability for balancing costs and risks
       
  • Optimizing Exchange High Availability - A New Approach

    How tiered availability can help you achieve your SLA commitments with less resources and lower cost

    Speakers:
    -Michael Bilancieri, Senior Director of Products, Marathon Technologies
    -Tom Reed, Senior Solutions Architect, Marathon Technologies

    Effective Exchange high availability involves more than just protecting the mailbox server-you need to protect your entire Exchange environment. But over-protection can waste valuable system resources, while under-protection can result in costly downtime. A new approach that allows you to tailor the levels of availability by user groups and Exchange components is a much better way to get effective Exchange high availability.

    Watch this webinar to learn:

    • What 3 metrics to use to match availability objectives with availability costs
    • How to assign levels of availability in your Exchange environment to achieve your SLA commitments most effectively
    • How to deploy tiered availability using Marathon's everRun software
