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

2. 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

3. 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

4. Any Infrastructure, Any Mix
HA & portability for any SQL Server instance, windows service, or file share
2008R OS any version/edition
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.

5. 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 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
