Availability, a critical component for businesses, has quickly become a necessity. In this virtual event, our team of experts will help you gain a better understanding of how to keep your business-essential applications highly available.
During this one-day, free online conference experts John Savill, Paul Robichaux, Mike Campbell, and Michael Otey will teach you about:
- Windows Server Clustering: the Good, the Better, and the Best – In this session, we'll look at the fundamentals of Failover Clustering, best practices for configuration, troubleshooting, and common services that leverage clustering, including Hyper-V, File and Print, and Exchange.
- Keeping Exchange Available: DAGs in Exchange 2010 – In this presentation, we'll delve into the Exchange 2010 DAG subsystem to answer these questions and give you an effective guide to safeguarding your Exchange data and service availability with DAGs.
- High Availability Isn’t Disaster Recovery – In this session, you'll learn about SQL Server disasters that can't be addressed by HA solutions. You’ll also learn why RPOs/RTOs are an important baseline, why HA solutions aren’t the same as disaster recovery, about disaster recovery requirements, and about best practices for HA and disaster recovery.
- Choosing Between SQL Server’s High Availability Options – In this session, you’ll get an understanding of the different high availability options available for SQL Server. In each case, you’ll learn about the infrastructure requirements and costs of each option, as well as the different business scenarios that each technology is best suited for.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask live questions via our platform’s interface, chat with other attendees in the Networking Lounge, and chat directly with vendors in the Exhibit Hall. Various incentives also include prize giveaways, announcements, a treasure hunt, and more!
