Cluster Standalone SQL Server Instances at “Ludicrous” Speed OJ Ngo, Chief Technology Officer

The Portable, Universal Windows Container Host name abstraction IP based Not infrastructure bound Lightest weight Simple & quick to provision Active on IP bounded node Consistent application endpoint Vhost = a network name Multi IP addresses include multi subnet Provides a mobile host name, not unlike a VM, just lighter weight Vhosts can be tiered and prioritized Highest level of abstraction you can get Simplest provisioning possible. host name, ipaddress, click – done No “boot” time. IP bound = vhost active DH2i.com | info@dh2i.com | 970.295.4505 DH2i All Rights Reserved © 2016

DxEnterprise™ Automated HA & assured application performance Superior fault protection from: infrastructure, OS, application binaries, and configuration, and pilot errors SLA assurance with application-based QoS Disaster recovery and resilience Simple orchestrated low RTO multi-subnet DR Tiered logic execution points for dependency coordination Manual, but also HA engine Highest level of protection – always move the app to where it can run. An app being up isn’t enough—it has to perform. QoS controls for SLA assurance for hosts & apps under management Extend to DR simply, replicate the application state (data) simple DR solutions. Can do multi subnet geo clustering back to SQL 2005 DH2i.com | info@dh2i.com | 970.295.4505 DH2i All Rights Reserved ©2016

Any Infrastructure, Any Mix HA & portability for any SQL Server instance, windows service, or file share 2008R2-2016 OS any version/edition 2005-2016 SQL Server any version/edition Physical, virtual & cloud Infrastructure independence & easy modernization Simple OS, application and infrastructure modernization No vendor or infrastructure lock-in Ultimate flexibility and agility Infrastructure agnostic P, V, C Support for legacy- current back to 2005 on 2008R2 – lots of different, manage them the same! Ability to independently modernize the OS, the app version, and underlying infrastructure. Near elimination of planned outages Well architected infrastructure doesn’t break a lot (unplanned outages). The vast amount of downtime in IT environments is planned. DxE can help drive that down. DH2i.com | info@dh2i.com | 970.295.4505 DH2i All Rights Reserved ©2016

Unparallelled Cost and Complexity Reduction Most efficient consolidation Lightest weight mobility Stack SQL Server instances Vast reduction in cost and complexity 25-60% SQL Server license & annuity savings 8-15X reduction in OS count for SQL deployments Reclaim 1/3 of licenses for future use due to license efficiency Lightest weight mobility – moving app around Stack workloads within machines, physical or virtual. Stacking ratio wrong? Easy fix   Save money Dodge MS licensing traps Don’t be forced to Enterprise Edition SQL for large cluster size, HA, DR and consolidation features. Use SE and DxEnterprise for unlimited size clusters Stack instances. SQL is licensed per core. Can install up to 50 instances per licensed host. Up utilization. 8-15 instances per machine for physical -Less SQL you have to buy or get hardware &licenses back Save 25-60% on SQL inclusive of Dx – stay legal HA, agility, DR, and you get to save money DH2i.com | info@dh2i.com | 970.295.4505 DH2i All Rights Reserved ©2016
