Re: Using sql server clustering



WHell Andrew

I got more information about the system i should manage:

for the 6 applications that uses the same data
there is only one application that only load data from sources and there are
5 applicaions that just showing the data.

So it seems that i need replication for that. and not merge but transactioal
replication but this is not for this forum.

my question is: it seems that in order to make the system better i should
add more server for incoming data wich is failover cluster.

About the servers to pull data, can i use sql server clustering in order to
make that if one of the 5 is fallen down anoter server use it?

Wow, you are really starting at the bottom:). I suggest you start here to
get an idea of what options are available to SQL Server in terms of HA.

Thankes Andrew

If what you are saying is true i need it only for recovery.

Do you have offical a documentation from microsoft about it?

secondly' i've seen some documentation about sql server clustering witch
is being used by windows clustering (as far as i know). but on the
document i've seen something about create virtual server.

what is this thing?

Clustering in SQL Server is a hardware failover technology only. There
is no load sharing of any kind and there are no performance benefits
from running SQL Server in a Windows cluster. The only thing a cluster
will get you close to is #3. But only 1 server at a time is active. You
best bet is to optimize your existing applications / database or to
scale up with the hardware. Another option may be to use replication but
it sounds like you will need Merge and that would not be my first
choice.

Hello there

I have huge sql server databese that works on single server right now.

To the database there are at least 6 applications that update the data
and use it.

as a result of that there are problems on performance.

I've heard that by using sql server clustering i can do 3 things that
will improve my performance:
1. setting 6 diffrent servers for each application and due to sql
server clustering(as i've been heard) the data is immidietly being
update on each other server
2. the clustering can assist the performance by getting to one
application data from more then one server
3. Recovery: this way if one server is down the other server fills its
action until the server is online again.

my question:
1. is all true that it can be achived on sql server clustering?
2. how can i start learing and using it?
3. what hardware i need to test it and to place at the client?
