"SQL Server HA and DR: A Simple Strategy for Realizing Dramatic Cost Savings"
As companies become increasingly reliant on SQL Server to run their critical business operations, their tolerance for application downtime soon approaches zero. However, with the licensing changes that were introduced in SQL Server 2012 and the rising TCO of SAN-based clusters, the cost of providing high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) protection has risen sharply. This paper discusses the SQL Server 2012 licensing changes and their impact on HA and DR strategies as well as the TCO of SAN-based clusters. It concludes that #SANLess clusters save hundreds of thousands of dollars by providing complete HA and DR protection without costly upgrades to SQL Server Enterprise Edition or the need for SAN storage.
