Windows Server System Reference Architecture Design Considerations for SQL Server 2005 High Availability
|
Service designs vary greatly from implementation to implementation, but architectural principals, patterns, and practices remain constant for baseline design considerations. For solid baseline architecture, Microsoft delivers the Windows Server System Reference Architecture (WSSRA). Data Services, based on SQL Server 2005, is a core service defined in the reference architecture that delivers baseline architectural considerations for a highly available enterprise data service. Businesses routinely design and develop infrastructure services to host data, and delivering a common platform with known cross-service touch points is instrumental in delivering highly available, manageable, and more secure services. This Flash demo focuses on high-availability capabilities in SQL Server 2005, which translate to infrastructure architecture touch points necessary to build a highly available enterprise data service. It enables organizations to more quickly and efficiently design and deploy an enterprise data service based on SQL Server 2005.
| • | Deliver Reliable Services. A standardized design and deployment means a more easily managed and more reliable service platform. |
| • | Deliver Security AND Availability. Using "defense in depth" strategies results in a need for special considerations when designing a highly available service. |
| • | Design for Operations. Meet business expectations by delivering a service that is both manageable and economical to operate. |
