Be some of the first people to learn about the new MICROSOFT SQL SERVER ALWAYS ON TECHNOLOGIES

MICROSOFT SQL SERVER ALWAYS ON TECHNOLOGIES support mission critical applications of our customers with the highest level of availability. Because any application downtime can impact business, resulting in lost revenue, customer dissatisfaction, and damage to the credibility of a business, many database applications, especially enterprise-wide business applications, require minimum system downtime. System downtime can be caused by a variety of issues such as human error, natural disasters, hardware and software failures, and application upgrades. SQL SERVER ALWAYS ON TECHNOLOGIES provide our customers with a full range of options for helping them to achieve and maintain appropriate levels of application availability. Today, SQL SERVER ALWAYS ON TECHNOLOGIES include database mirroring, failover clustering, database snapshots, snapshot isolation, peer-to-peer replication, log shipping, and online operations. Used separately or in combination, these features minimize downtime and help keep critical enterprise systems accessible
