NetApp Microsoft SQL Server Business Continuity

Achieve higher data availability and provide a rapid, cost-effective disaster recovery capability for all of your applications using Microsoft SQL Server 2012 databases with a NetApp® agile data infrastructure.

NetApp business continuity solutions help you maintain the availability of your Microsoft SQL Server databases and applications during planned or unplanned downtime. They also enable you to quickly reestablish full system functionality in the event of a disaster.

Business continuity capabilities from NetApp help you:

  • Create nondisruptive, space-efficient federated backups that significantly reduce the time needed to bring data back online.
  • Leverage SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Groups for high availability and disaster recovery.
  • Recover rapidly in the event of a disaster through asynchronous replication over any distance or synchronous replication across stretch or metropolitan distances.
  • Meet or exceed your stringent service-level agreements.
  • Verhoog de beschikbaarheid van data tijdens upgrades van de storage-infrastructuur en software met Data ONTAP®-clusteringsoftware.

NetApp Snapshot™ technology enables frequent backups of SQL Server data without impacting performance. With NetApp SnapRestore® technology, you can restore your SQL Server databases quickly and easily. Both technologies are incorporated in SnapManager® for Microsoft SQL Server and enable administrators to streamline the backup and restore process.

NetApp offers a complete range of integrated disaster recovery solutions for SQL Server, including SnapManager support for AlwaysOn Availability Groups (AGs) in SQL Server 2012 to accelerate AG setup, rapidly back up and restore all databases in AGs, create space-efficient clones of databases in AGs, and quickly resynchronize databases within the AG. You can also enable multisite Failover Cluster Instance architecture with NetApp SnapMirror® technology. Lastly, NetApp MetroCluster™ software provides synchronous replication across stretch or metropolitan distances, for a range of DR capabilities to meet the needs of any organization.
