SQL Server High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HA/DR)
Dive deep into how SQL Server works to implement an effective high availability and disaster recovery solution.
Lo que serás capaz de hacer
This is a deep dive course on understanding how SQL Server works to effectively choose the right high availability and disaster recovery solution that will address every organization's need to protect digital assets. Packed with videos explaining concept and demos to reinforce the lessons, this course is what every IT professional needs to properly manage and protect a SQL Server database. If you're a SQL Server database administrator or a systems administrator responsible for SQL Server databases, this is for you. You want to be well-informed and skilled in protecting SQL Server databases from unwanted data loss and outages. Because outages and data loss happen to databases. It's only a matter of time. The course primarily uses SQL Server 2012 for demonstrations. But the concepts still apply to later versions of SQL Server on Windows - even SQL Server 2025 on Windows Server 2025. OR...Just watch hours of Practical SQL Server HA/DR Show episode videos... FOR FREE . The goal of the Practical SQL Server HA/DR Show is to provide guidance and lessons beyond the technical know-how. It's the non-technical aspects of high availability and disaster recovery that most technology professionals often overlook but are as equally important nonetheless. Get access to these videos without signing up on Udemy. Just expand the section Practical SQL Server HA/DR Show to watch the videos.
- By the end of the course, attendees will be able to understand the different SQL Server high availability and disaster recovery technologies - how they work and properly implement the right solution to address recovery objectives and service level agreements
