The Challenge
Microsoft SQL Server performance and availability is so critical that most organizations apply generous capacity and management resources to maintain needed service levels. Telltale signs include using RAID 1 for performance, over-provisioning for growth, labor-intensive tuning and planning, and costly, complex recovery solutions. 3PAR® offers a better way.
