- 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

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.
