1. High Availability Reference Architecture
Rapid-to-deploy two-server HA configurations for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V on IBM BladeCenter HS22
Overview
High availability is no longer a choice. Keeping systems and services healthy and available directly corresponds to the vitality of your business. Natural disasters, malicious attacks, and even simple configuration problems can cripple services and applications until administrators resolve the problems and restore any backed up data. The challenge of maintaining uptime only becomes more critical as businesses consolidate physical servers into a virtual server infrastructure to reduce data center costs, maximize utilization and increase workload performance.
Highlights
