Microsoft SQL Server Business Continuity

NetApp storage yields higher data availability and fast, cost-effective disaster recovery for your SQL Server databases.

NetApp® business continuity solutions maintain Microsoft® SQL Server® database and application availability during planned or unplanned downtime and reestablish full system functionality following disasters. 

NetApp can help you:

  • Cut data recovery time with nondisruptive, space-efficient, federated backups.
  • Leverage AlwaysOn Availability Groups (AGs) for high availability and disaster recovery.
  • Implement disaster recovery, using NetApp SnapMirror® technology for asynchronous replication over any distance or NetApp MetroCluster™ software for synchronous replication across stretch or metropolitan distances.
  • Meet or exceed your service-level agreements.
  • Increase data uptime during storage infrastructure and software upgrades with the clustered Data ONTAP® operating system.

NetApp Snapshot™ technology enables frequent SQL Server data backups without impacting performance. NetApp SnapRestore® technology restores SQL Server databases fast and with ease. Both technologies are incorporated in SnapManager® for Microsoft SQL Server. SnapManager supports AlwaysOn Availability Groups with accelerated AG setup, backup and recovery, space-efficient cloning, resynchronization of AG databases, and multisite Failover Cluster Instance architecture with SnapMirror technology.
