In this webinar, Kendal Van Dyke will share how to migrate a replication distributor from a standalone instance to a clustered instance in under an hour. Drawing from real world experience, Kendal’s use case is a company that needed to implement a failover cluster to protect their SQL Server replication distributor and the applications that rely on it during a strict one-hour window and without causing disruption to ongoing business processes or slowing performance. Kendal will describe the customer’s HA needs, options and why a SIOS SANLess cluster was the solution of choice.

May 19, 2015: Live Webinar: Is HA pitting SQL Database Admins against VM Admins? Keeping the Peace with SANLess clusters.

by Leave a Comment

Moving SQL Server to a VM environment has a very real impact on the IT staff involved. To provide the high availability (HA) protection this mission critical app requires, SQL Admins may have to work closely with VM Admins. If performance suffers, the relationship can quickly become contentious. In this informative webinar, SQL Server MVP and VMware vExpert, David Klee will review four common use cases that pit SQL Admins against VM Admins when SQL Server HA is involved. He will also describe a simple way for SQL Server admins to provide HA without the need to involve VMware admins.

This webinar is interactive so come ready to ask your questions, add your comments, and join the discussion.
