This Designing High Availability Database Solutions Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 training course is intended for current professional database administrators who have three or more years of on-the-job experience administering SQL Server database solutions in an enterprise environment.

Before attending this Designing High Availability Database Solutions Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 training course, students must:

• Have a basic understanding of network architecture. For example, what can fail in a network, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), differing performance characteristics of network components, etc.
• Understand the tradeoffs among the different redundant storage types. For example, what RAID levels mean, how it differs from a SAN, etc.

• Have knowledge of application architecture. Specifically, must understand how applications identify servers to connect to, how applications can be designed in three layers, what applications can do, the interactions between applications and the database, interactions between the database and the platform or operating system.
• Know how to use:
• A monitoring tool
• Microsoft Visio (to create infrastructure diagrams)
• Be familiar with SQL Server 2005 features, tools, and technologies.
