I've written numerous commentaries over the years
exploring the "blurring of the lines" between the traditional DBA space
and the development space. Today, it's common for small-to-midsized
businesses (SMBs) not to have a full-time, dedicated DBA. I don't intend
to explore the pros and cons of this phenomenon this week. The lines
between the DBA and development stacks are officially blurred in my
humble opinion.
But what about the blurring line between operations and administration
on the back-end stack? Where do the job responsibilities start and stop
across the boundaries of SQL Server from a relational engine
perspective, from a business intelligence (BI) stack perspective, and in
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, Microsoft Dynamics, and the host of
other server-centric products available from Microsoft?

On January 27, John Savill, author of the Tips & Tricks
UPDATE, will present a free web seminar on high availability options.
John will look at the difference between planned and unplanned failovers
and the technologies available to minimize downtime during failovers. He
will also examine when to use physical or virtual clustering and show
you the best practices to apply.
You'll learn to identify the best high availability design for different
scenarios. You'll see how to use failover clustering within the virtual
machines to take advantage of cluster-aware services such as Exchange
and SQL Server running inside the VMs. You'll also see how you can use a
combination of virtual and physical machines in a single cluster and
learn about the gotchas that you should avoid.
