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.
