Why High Availability? High
Availability

• Businesses need to work around the clock to meet customer demands
• When systems are not running, businesses are losing revenue, opportunities,
customers and reputation
• High availability reduces the impact of required maintenance on
day-to-day operations and helps recover quickly from disasters
• Businesses need flexibility to easily build high availability solutions that meet
business and technology needs

• Add and remove servers easily
without taking replication offline, by

―[Microsoft] SQL Server 2008 replication proved to be very predictable and
reliable in our testing. This helps us to create flexible and scalable replication
solutions. Reliability must be at the foundation of all that we do.‖
— Sergey Elchinsky, Leading System Engineer, Baltika Breweries

Why Scalability and Performance? Scalability &
Performance

• Use hardware and software resources more efficiently to reduce costs
• Flexibility to address the need for more capacity
• Predictable response times reduce user frustration and support costs
• With different types of data, need to store, find and use the collected data.

Scale Up to 8 Processors Scalability &
Performance

Standard Edition Use More Processors
Up to 4 CPUs only • Can execute parallel index and
consistency check operations
• The query optimizer makes
operations parallel when there is a
benefit
Enterprise edition
Up to 8 CPUs • Standard edition only uses single CPU
for index and consistency check
operations

―For most large queries SQL Server generally scales linearly or nearly linearly.
For speed up, this means that if we double the number of CPUs, we see the
response time drop in half.‖
—Craig Freedman, Coauthor, Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2005: Query Tuning and Optimization

Host More Instances Per Server Scalability &
Performance

Multiple Instances
• Provides support for more processors
and memory to consolidate multiple
databases onto more powerful
hardware
• Protect data through unique security
contexts of each named instance
• Reduce power consumption, rack
space, and management costs as
servers typically have only 15 to 20
percent utilization

Server consolidation on a truly scalable platform… not only can deliver positive
economic advantages in the short term, but can position organizations for
lower operating costs, and improved service delivery for years to come.
—Server Consolidation Case Study by HP

Optimize Workloads Via Virtual Machines Scalability &
Performance

Virtualization Licensing
• Increases deployment flexibility by
running SQL Server inside a
virtualized OS, which allows it to be
Applications & easily moved or migrated to another
Business Logic server
• Allows 4 virtual machines/processor
for each licensed physical processor
• Provides flexibility in managing server
farms by allowing licenses to be
moved between servers without
restrictions

Virtualization is the top spending priority for CIOs with a 5 percent increase in
the number of companies budgeting for virtualization and more than a 15
percent increase in spending .

"Upgrading to SQL Server 2008 and taking advantage of the Data
Compression feature has enabled us to extend the useful life of our SANs. We
are seeing data compression in excess of 80 percent.‖
—TJ Fang, CIO, Quanta Computer

*Stated percentages are typical but not guaranteed

Increase Query Performance Scalability &
Performance

Partitioned Table Parallelism
• Manage and access subsets of data
quickly and efficiently by running
queries against partitioned tables in
parallel
• Reduce time for data load and
maintenance operations
• Take advantage of all CPUs in the
machine for processing to deliver
results faster

―Enhancements in partition query dramatically reduce the effects of lock escalation
on systems that have to process hundreds and thousands of transactions per
second, improving availability and improv[ing] query response time.‖

Increase Server Utilization with Virtual Machines Cost
Savings

Virtualization Licensing
Benefits
• Increases deployment flexibility by
running SQL Server inside a
Applications & virtualized OS, which allows it to be
Business Logic easily moved or migrated to another
server
• Allows 4 virtual machines/processor
for each licensed physical processor
• Provides flexibility in managing server
farms by removing the 90-day wait
between server moves

Virtualization is the top spending priority for CIOs with a 5 percent increase in
the number of companies budgeting for virtualization and more than a 15
percent increase in spending .

Managed Server Group and development with a single unit of
deployment across Visual Studio
2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2

• Reduce time and errors associated
Client with database application
deployments and upgrades

"When you work in an environment where a single product requires up to 40 SQL
Server instances for its full life cycle, the multi-server management features of SQL
Server 2008 R2 become an invaluable tool – it’s almost like having an extra DBA.‖
— Chuck Heinzelman, BigHammer

Lower Storage Costs Cost
Savings

Data Compression
‒ Can be used with backup compression,
1001010
now available with Standard
0101001

Provides more room to store more data,

1111011
0101001 •
0100001
1111011
0101001
which allows more instances to share
disk resources
performance

"We’re anticipating an 80 percent reduction in our backup file sizes using
backup compression on SQL Server 2008.‖
—Peter Hammond, President, CyberSavvy


Lower Costs for Cluster Nodes Cost
Savings

Multiple-Instance Database
Clustering
Applications & • More than one passive node is
110010
100101
100101
110010
100101
available to host instances from
multiple failovers on active nodes

100101
100101 100101
110010
110010 110010

• Multiple instances can share the
same failover node, which reduces
hardware costs
Active Failover Offline
Active Active • Simplified setup reduces
administrative costs

Because of the critical nature of the G4S application, CASON sets up the
servers in a failover cluster to ensure high availability.
