Different types of Microsoft® SQL Server® data protection are necessary to enable businesses to meet the complex application service-level agreements outlined in a comprehensive business continuity plan.
Many types of failure scenarios can impact SQL Server database or database application availability. Strategies and techniques for protecting against hardware component failures, data corruption, human errors and natural disasters need to be developed.
Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS Series arrays offer the availability features necessary to integrate into a holistic plan that is designed to protect SQL Server data. These arrays feature redundant components and provide the ability to create snapshots, clones, and replicas of database and log volumes. These features enable the volumes to offer many business continuity advantages.
EqualLogic Auto-Snapshot Manager/Microsoft® Edition application provides SQL Server awareness when creating and restoring from these special volumes. This facilitates integration of features with different strategies to meet the backup and recovery needs of the business.
Tape-based, disk-based and hybrid solutions can all benefit from using the PS Series features, thereby enabling data protection and restoration in any of the failure scenarios outlined above.
