Overview |
|
|
HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server enables multiple Microsoft SQL Server instances to be consolidated onto substantially fewer servers and centralized SAN storage. HP PolyServe's unique "shared data" architecture delivers enterprise class availability and virtualization-like flexibility in a utility platform.
Unlike server virtualization and traditionally high availability products, it goes beyond just consolidation and simple failovers to provide scalable capacity allocation, on-the-fly instance mobility, and meets Microsoft’s SQL Server Always On requirements, making it the ideal solution for database consolidation.
Key features of HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server include:
- Adaptive, Scalable Microsoft SQL Server Platform
- Dynamic Re-Hosting™ to quickly deploy, stack or reallocate Microsoft SQL Server instances to any server
- Add server, blade, and storage capacity without disrupting existing operations
- Only server consolidation solution that provides enterprise class availability and virtualization-like flexibility
- Consolidated Data Management
- “Shared Data” architecture maximizes consolidation while providing ultimate flexibility in data structure configuration for database administrators
- Single, shared pool of resources simplifies storage allocation, backup, and configuration tasks
- Enables a shared services model for more efficient staff utilization and budget allocation
- High Availability for Mission-Critical Applications
- Reliable, easy to manage high availability for all instances
- "One-Click" and “Roll-Through” maintenance pushes updates or hot fixes to all servers
- Qualified and supported solution in Microsoft SQL Server Always On program
The software supports HP ProLiant Servers and SAN storage arrays. Installation and optimization services are available to help customers successfully migrate from Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to 2005.
