High availability for SQL Server 2005 using array–based replication and host–based mirroring technologies Although these technologies are widely available, users may lack the information needed to select the replication, mirroring, or high availability method(s) suitable for their environment; they need information on how to configure the database, storage, and software.
Users who are running or planning to deploy remote replication solutions for SQL Server 2005 in an enterprise environment will want to read this paper to learn more about:- The data needed to understand the options and the limitations for implementing remote replication solutions on a clustered HP server and storage area network (SAN)–based storage infrastructure
- Both array–based replication with HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA and host–based copying with SQL Server database mirroring are discussed
- Strategies for synchronous and asynchronous replication of SQL databases between primary and remote HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) disk arrays
