Module 1: Selecting the Appropriate High-availability Solution
This module provides the guidelines for identifying business requirements and
technical and non-technical constraints of high-availability. This module also
explains the guidelines for analyzing the requirements and constraints for
highavailability. Finally, this module provides a brief overview of existing
high-availability technologies and explains the process and guidelines for
determining the appropriate high-availability technology that can be used to
meet business requirements and constraints.
Lessons
• Identifying High-availability Requirements and Constraints
• Analyzing High-availability Requirements and Constraints
• Determining Appropriate High-availability Solutions
Module 2: Designing a Clustering Solution
This module provides the considerations and guidelines for designing a SQL
Server cluster implementation. This module also provides the guidelines for
designing recovery strategies and formulating the test plan for database
clustering. Next, this module explains the considerations for migrating and
upgrading SQL Server clusters. Finally, this module explains the process of
creating an operations plan for clustering. In this module, you will also learn
about the planned and unplanned events that can affect a cluster environment.
