High Availability Options with SQL Server 2012

Quest sponsored on-demand webinar

Webcast Abstract

SQL Server 2012 introduces a variety of new features to improve availability and uptime. Features like AlwaysOn Availability Groups make it possible for all sorts of preventative maintenance tasks to occur on a secondary server, to offload backup jobs, and split reporting workloads.

In this session, our speakers reveal tricks and tips for taking full advantage of these powerful new capabilities, as well as existing ones, to prevent both planned and unplanned downtime from affecting application databases.

They also go a step further and show you how you can get even more functionality by combining LiteSpeed for SQL Server with SQL Server 2012’s high-availability features. You’ll see how this approach will enable you to quickly and easily create jobs that back up to a preferred database, force a backup on the primary, or back up the primary and all secondary servers.
