Maintaining SQL Server 2005 high availability in a global information environment is the DBA's greatest practical challenge. This book comprehensively covers the technology, the people, the process, and the real-world best practices for planning, deploying, administering, and maintaining highly available SQL Server 2005 instances.

With even more years as a database consultant and production DBA, Allan Hirt once again provides in-depth, detailed advice on what it takes to assure SQL Server high availability for businesses of any size. This is not an academic text. It is not based on lab experiments but on real-world experience. A dramatic update and revision of his best-seller on SQL Server 2000, it gives the same sound guidance to DBAs and system administrators on how to really get the job done.

Allan Hirt is a Microsoft Cluster "Most Valuable Professional" living just outside of Boston. Starting as an intern at Sybase in college, Allan has used SQL Server in its various forms since 1992. For the past 10 years, he has traveled all over the world to train, mentor, and work with clients. He has also authored or contributed to publications about SQL Server for various outlets including Microsoft and SQL Server Magazine via whitepapers, webcasts, training courses, and books. He is a frequent speaker at conferences like TechEd and SQL PASS. Allan s website and blog can be found at http: //www.sqlha.com and at @SQLHA on Twitter.
