SQL Server Disaster Recovery

Reliable SQL Server disaster recovery that ensures business continuity

Bespoke DR for SQL Server that minimises downtime and ensures uninterrupted business operations

When it comes to your SQL Server environment, ensuring business continuity in the face of unexpected events is paramount. Disasters can strike in many forms. Whether it’s hardware failures and cyberattacks, or natural calamities – without a robust DR strategy, your business could face significant downtime and data loss. At Xynomix, we understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for SQL Server disaster recovery. That’s why we don’t just offer a standard solution; instead, we provide expert consultancy to help you build a bespoke strategy for tailored to the specific needs of your business.

Providing a tailored disaster recovery strategy for your SQL Server environment

Xynomix offers a range of platform services to enhance your database tier

Your critical databases don’t need to be compromised, even in a crisis!

Our approach to SQL Server disaster recovery is built around understanding your business’s unique requirements. We’ll walk you through a comprehensive “decision tree” process, considering critical factors such as:

Recovery Point Objective (RPO): How much data can your business afford to lose? This determines the maximum acceptable age of the data when recovery begins.

Recovery Time Objective (RTO): How quickly does your business need to be back up and running after a disaster? This defines the maximum acceptable downtime.

Budget: What are you willing to invest in your DR solution? We’ll help you find the right balance between cost and resilience.

By thoroughly discussing these points, we can help you devise a strategy that aligns with your business’s tolerance for data loss and downtime, as well as your financial constraints.

Expertise in SQL Server disaster recovery tools

Our team of experienced SQL Server professionals is adept at implementing a range of disaster recovery technologies, including:

Always On Availability Groups

While primarily a high availability feature, Always On Availability Groups can be leveraged for robust DR solutions by setting up asynchronous replicas in geographically separate locations.

Log Shipping

A traditional and effective method for disaster recovery, log shipping involves automating the backup of transaction logs on a primary server and restoring them to a secondary server.

Basic Availability Groups

Available in SQL Server Standard Edition, Basic Availability Groups provide database-level mirroring capabilities, offering a more cost-effective alternative to Always On Availability Groups for certain DR scenarios.

We’ll help you navigate the complexities of these technologies, ensuring the chosen solution provides the right level of protection for your critical SQL Server databases. Our consultancy ensures that all necessary safety nets are in place and that you understand the implications of your chosen DR strategy. Don’t leave your business vulnerable to unforeseen disasters.

Cost effective SQL Server disaster recovery solutions for Standard Edition

The UK’s number one implementation partner for Dbvisit StandbyMP

SQL Server presents a compelling balance of cost-effectiveness and performance for many businesses. However, for organisations seeking to ensure a robust disaster recovery strategy, the capabilities of Standard Edition can present a clear challenge. Advanced DR functionalities, such as Always On Availability Groups for comprehensive real-time data protection and automatic failover, are primarily exclusive to Enterprise Edition. This can leave Standard Edition users with a significant gap in their database resilience strategy.

Licensing limitations shouldn’t force a compromise on business continuity. That’s why, through our strategic partnership with Dbvisit, we offer a proven and cost-effective solution. Dbvisit StandbyMP enables SQL Server Standard Edition users to overcome these limitations and achieve reliable disaster recovery without the need to upgrade to Enterprise Edition. That’s because StandbyMP is more resilient, more automated and easier to manage compared to Basic Availability Groups and Log Shipping.
