Understanding High Availability vs. Scale Out

Understanding Clustering

Installing SQL Server 2012 as a Clustered Instance

Testing Failover on a Clustered Instance of SQL Server 2012

Databases are the backbone of almost every type of business application, whether it is an e-commerce website, loan processing system, or a patient monitoring application. Almost all mission-critical business processes such as sales, shipment, and supply chain management rely on database systems. A disruption in any of these processes affects an organization's capability to generate revenue, remain productive, and maintain customer satisfaction. For this reason businesses require that databases are always up and running. High availability of database systems can be achieved by a well-designed solution that includes SQL Server failover clustering.

What's New with Clustering in SQL 2012
SQL Server Failover Clustering is now considered as part of the SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn implementation suite. Enhancements were made to the multi-site failover clustering technology:
  • Automatic detection of multi-subnet environment.
  • Automatic setting of IP address resource dependency to OR.
  • SQL Server Engine startup logic skips binding to any IP address that is not in an online state, when bringing the SQL Server resource online.
