Pro SQL Server 2005 High Availability

Maintaining SQL Server 2005 high availability in a global information environment is the DBA’s greatest practical challenge. This book comprehensively covers the technology, the people, the process, and the real-world best practices for planning, deploying, administering, and maintaining highly available SQL Server 2005 instances.


With even more years as a database consultant and production DBA, Allan Hirt once again provides in-depth, detailed advice on what it takes to assure SQL Server high availability for businesses of any size. This is not an academic text. It is not based on lab experiments but on real-world experience. A dramatic update and revision of his best-seller on SQL Server 2000, it gives the same sound guidance to DBAs and system administrators on how to really get the job done.
