Re: Choosing correct high availability setup



Never do both on the same box, read this -

Server Clustering with make the entire node HA, SQL mirroring will make that
database HA. Which does your customer require?

I have a client that wants me to start hosting their SQL and IIS for them.
They want to have the ability to have a "hot spare" in case the primary
SQL
server fails. I have read and read until my eyes hurt about clustering
and
mirroring and I am getting more confused on how to proceed.

My first question is, should I even be using IIS on the SQL box at all?
They have a web interface that gets it data from SQL.

My second question is, if I host their web site on a separate IIS box is
there any reason that I shouldn't go with database mirroring instead of
any
other option?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
Marty
