SQL Server HA and DR: A Simple Strategy for Realizing Dramatic Cost Savings

As companies become increasingly reliant on SQL Server to run their critical business operations, their tolerance for application downtime soon approaches zero. However, with the licensing changes that were introduced in SQL Server 2012, the cost of providing high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) protection to prevent downtime and data loss has risen sharply.
