Microsoft SQL Server Clustering introduction
Subject of today’s discussion

Asynchronous replication

SAN-based clustering
(FCI)
*Full AlwaysOn support available only with SQL Server 2014 Enterprise license
AlwaysOn without shared storage

AlwaysOn FCI
SQL Server HA using Windows Server failover clustering and shared storage
AlwaysOn FCI
Pro’s of the Standard license use• Flexible licensing (per core or per server+CAL)
