Pro SQL Server 2005 High Availability
Maintaining SQL Server 2005 high availability in a global information environment is the database administrator's greatest practical challenge. Availability is as much about people and processes as it is about technology. Pro SQL Server 2005 High Availability covers the technology, people, processes, and real-world best practices for planning, deploying,
administering, and maintaining highly available SQL Server 2005 instances.
With years of experience as a database consultant and production DBA, Allan Hirt provides in-depth, detailed advice on what it takes to ensure SQL Server high availability for businesses of any size. This is not an academic text; it's not based on lab experiments, but on real-world experience. This book is a dramatic update and revision of the author's previous best-seller on SQL Server 2000. It gives sound guidance to DBAs and system administrators on how to really get the job done.
