In another
example of how it simplifies enterprise storage in a hybrid world,
Zadara Storage Inc. today announced a new solution that
enables enterprises to migrate SQL Server database apps to the cloud - in a
phased manner. This week at
AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas, Zadara will highlight the new
offering along with all the features of its fully-managed, hybrid cloud storage
platform.
High
availability (HA) is imperative to a well-architected SQL Server environment
and modernizing business-critical applications. While Microsoft SQL Server
Enterprise Edition provides a mechanism for doing so, it is costly for
organizations that only need its HA features. But according to hybrid cloud
storage leader Zadara, it doesn't have to be this way. Zadara's service offering
allows users to meet their high-availability requirements using SQL Standard
Edition within the AWS environment - providing them with the ability to
maintain HA without the cost of SQL Enterprise Edition. In addition,
applications can be migrated to AWS without any code changes.
"Our newest
offering is the latest example of Zadara's ability to deliver real business
value," said Oded Kellner, vice president, product management at Zadara. "We
are helping customers navigate the hidden risks and unnecessary expenses that
have plagued so many SQL Server migrations to public clouds - with greater
reliability, faster performance and increased security capabilities."
