About the Presentation

Implementing a SANLess Cluster in Under an Hour

Kendal Van Dyke demonstrates how to Implement a SANless Cluster in Under an Hour using SIOS DataKeeper™ Cluster Edition.  No shared storage, SAN, or SAN Admin required and operations were not disrupted.

“We recommended SIOS DataKeeper software because it provided the only solution that could enable our client to move from a production environment to a fully supported Windows Server Failover Cluster – and to do so without disruption to business operations that rely on SQL Server.”

Learn how UpSearch used SIOS DataKeeper™ to provide a simple, easy way to add High Availability Protection for SQL Server with an AlwaysOn Failover Cluster.
