Using traditional shared storage clusters for high availability in a VMware environment requires the use of Raw Device Mapping (RDM) which limits IT configurations and does not support important VMware features, such as Vmotion.

In this webinar, Tony Tomarchio will demonstrate easy steps to create a failover cluster without RDM to protect SQL without sacrificing IT flexibility or VMware features. At SIOS Technology, Tony Tomarchio is responsible for defining and delivering technical pre-sales services, support and best practices to SIOS customers, prospects and partners. Tony has more than a decade of experience providing systems management and high availability solutions to enterprise customers.

Live Webinar: High Availability for SQL in VMware without Sacrificing IT Flexibility or VM Features

by Leave a Comment

Did you know that you can have high availability (HA) protection for SQL in a VMware environment without giving up IT flexibility or key VM features? Creating a traditional shared storage clusters for HA in a VMware environment means using complex Raw Device Mapping – and giving up important VMware features, such as vMotion.

In this webinar, SIOS clustering expert Tony Tomarchio will demonstrate how to create a failover cluster to protect SQL Server in a VMware environment without RDM for complete flexibility and complete VMware data mobility.

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

Storage Switzerland: Live Webinar – Flexible HA and DR for Virtual Server and Cloud Environments

by Leave a Comment

Moving business critical applications, such as Microsoft SQL Server, to virtual server and cloud environments, requires high availability and a solid disaster protection plan. The question often asked — will implementing that protection eliminate the cost savings and configuration flexibility you gain in these environments? This webinar will simplify the confusing array of availability and redundancy features offered in Windows Server Failover Clustering, SQL Server, and leading cloud and virtual server software vendors. Participants will learn how to protect SQL Server and other Windows applications from downtime and disasters, all the while ensuring configuration flexibility and infrastructure efficiency.

These capabilities are becoming increasingly critical given that fact that many organizations are leveraging virtualized server infrastructure in tandem with off-site replication to cloud data centers to lower DR infrastructure costs and to improve application resiliency. But many legacy clustering technologies are not “cloud aware”. Instead they rely on access to shared storage resources like SANs to enable application fail-over.

Those environments that don’t have shared storage may have to invest in a six figure SAN, in addition to the clustering software licenses, just to attain the high availability that their applications require. Another challenge is that cloud storage generally can’t be shared out across multiple servers. Instead, it is typically allocated out on a per virtual machine basis, which means that the cloud can’t be used as an application fail-over target with some clustering offerings.

These two architectural limitations – the requirement to use shared storage and the lack of cloud storage awareness, can severely restrict the ability of application owners to obtain affordable, high availability and DR resiliency for their most critical business systems. This webinar will discuss how businesses can implement easy to manage, application-clustering technology utilizing commodity disk with public or hybrid cloud storage to get low-cost, application high availability.

All registrants will also be able to access Storage Switzerland’s extensive library of on-demand webinars, many with exclusive white papers, without having to re-register. As is always the case with a Storage Switzerland webinar, we will leave plenty of time for questions and answers. Get your specific questions answered or just listen in to hear what your IT peers are struggling with and the solutions we recommend.
