New approaches to file serving and SQL server deployment
The UnAppliance Provides Higher Performance, Lower Cost File Serving
The "UnAppliance approach," an alternative to traditional NAS solutions for Linux-based file serving, employs industry-standard servers and storage, achieving scalable, highly available file services while retaining the management simplicity of a single server and a single pool of exported file systems. Learn how to deploy shared data clustering software technology and overcome the price/performance limitations of traditional NAS appliances.
The SQL Server Utility: A Highly Available, Flexible, Simple Approach to SQL Server Consolidation
In this paper, you will learn about an approach to deploying SQL Server that allows capacity to be matched appropriately to need, provides high availability without introducing extra complexity and extra cost, and simplifies the life of administrators. Using a SQL Server Utility, multiple servers and associated storage can be consolidated into an easily managed on-demand database cluster that reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) by as much as 50 percent.
