Business-critical applications depend upon Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) to store and manage data for processing and reporting. Since RDMBS must maintain data integrity and ensure availability and performance, the ability for an enterprise to protect and store data on high-performance, highly available storage resources is critical. Microsoft® SQL Server® supports a vast range of business-critical applications, and thus has seen rapid uptake among enterprises that rely upon RDBMS solutions.
Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS Series virtualized iSCSI SANs provide the optimal storage architecture for local and remote protection and high availability of SQL Server environments. Automated performance management ensures high throughput and flexible capacity to minimize response times. Dell EqualLogic Auto-Snapshot Manager and integration with such enabling technologies as Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) enable customers to implement comprehensive data protection strategies, simplifying management while retaining high flexibility.
