Windows Server Failover Clustering for the SQL Server DBAJoin us for this Live Online Training

Class Description

High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HA/DR) is an area that every SQL Serverprofessional and IT administrator need to be comfortable with. And with features likeAvailability Groups and Failover Clustered Instances relying heavily on Windows ServerFailover Clustering, a deep understanding of the underlying principles and fundamentaltechnologies spell the difference between successful implementations and horribledisasters. This course is designed, created and delivered by SQL Server MVP, MicrosoftCertified Master, author and consultant Edwin Sarmiento. It is designed for bothbeginners as well as advanced SQL Server professionals and IT administrators who areresponsible for architecting, deploying and managing mission-critical and highly availableSQL Server databases.

This class will focus on the use of Windows 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014, but theconcepts also apply to Windows 2008 and higher as well as SQL Server 2008 and higher.
