Why Ensuring Cyber Resilience Has Never Been More

Critical or More Challenging Than It Is Today

By Don Boxley, Co-founder and CEO, DH2i

When it comes to optimizing Microsoft SQL Server high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR),
there’s a strong correlation between greater database transaction processing performance, business
resiliency, and profitability—particularly for workloads like those in industries like financial services,
though certainly other sectors as well.

The fact is that our world is connected yet fragile, which creates many challenges when it comes to
database HA/DR—specifically with resilience, security, and scalability across on-premises sites, remote
locations, and public clouds. Companies need a way to not only provide database resiliency within an
availability zone or region, but also between zones and regions. With security concerns, enterprises must
ensure data integrity with data constantly moving between isolated networks, such as availability zones
and regions. And with scalability in mind, businesses need a way to both manage and scale the number
of database instances in response to quickly changing behaviors and expectations.
