  4. SQL Server 2012 OverviewHigh Availability

  5. SQL Server 2012 New Feature Overview

  6. SQL Server AlwaysOn

  7. SQL Server High Availability Features

  8. AlwaysOn Failover Cluster • Shared storage • Passive secondary replicas • Protects server, instance, and database • Multi-subnet support now available • Database Protection • Microsoft SQL Server AlwaysOnFailover Cluster

  9. SQL Server 2012:Multi-subnet Support • Cluster Setup support—intelligently detects a multi-subnet environment • SQL Server Engine support—skips binding to any IP address that is not in an online state • Cluster Properties—Dependencies

  10. AlwaysOn Availability Groups • Synchronous or Asynchronous • Up to four replicas • Active secondary replicas • Protects database only • Database Protection • Microsoft SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Group

  11. Solution Overview

  12. Solution Purpose • SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn • Characterize a geographically dispersed SQL Server 2012 environment protected by AlwaysOn technology, and highlight multi-subnet support at both synchronous and asynchronous distances. • EMC VNX5700 • Optimize database storage performance with EMC FAST Cache. • Integrate a simple, efficient, and powerful platform for enterprise-class SQL Server 2012 infrastructures. • Validate the ability of the VNX5700 storage array to support SQL Server 2012 instances running OLTP-like workloads that generate over 50,000 IOPS.

  13. Solution Architecture 2 * SQL Servers • 1 * Primary (Production) • 1 * Secondary (DR) FAST Cache on production • 4 * DB’s: 1.8 TB of data • Dataset: 60% hot FAST Cache impact: x4 (TPS/IOPS) latency of <3ms

  14. Architecture Design

  15. SQL Server Layout

  16. Storage Design Production array storage configuration

  17. Storage Design for SQL Server

  18. Test Results

  19. Throughput in IOPS (transfers/sec) • Baseline • 2hr FAST Cache warmup • FAST Cache Steady State Distance ...80km ...800km …4,000km Transfers/sec (IOPs)

  20. Comparison of Disk Reads/Writes On Primary And Secondary Replicas

  21. SQL Server CPU Utilization • SQL Server CPU impact across synchronization state and distance

  22. Throughput in Transactions/Sec (TPS) • Baseline • 2hr FAST Cache warmup • FAST Cache Steady State Distance ...80km ...800km ...4,000km • Disk transactions per sec (TPS) for both primary and secondary replicas

  23. Physical Disk Utilization • Baseline • 2hr FAST Cache warmup • FAST Cache Steady State Physical disk utilization for storage pool on production and DR arrays

  24. Storage Processor Utilization • Baseline • 2hr FAST Cache warmup • FAST Cache Steady State • SP utilization for SPA and SPB on production and DR storage arrays

  25. Availability Group Creation Process

  26. Shared Storage Requirements For Seeding • A shared storage space is required when performing a Full Initial Data Synchronization as part of availability group creation. • Users should consider the storage used for these database backups and restorations. • The backup process has high bandwidth requirements for storage.

  27. Availability Group Creation Times • Synchronous and asynchronous availability group creation at 80, 800, 4,000 km

  28. Summary

  29. Summary AlwaysOnAvailability Groups provide protection at database level • Synchronous – commit mode • Asynchronous – commit mode • Powerof the EMC VNX to host mission critical SQL Server 2012 environments FAST Cache • significantly boost performance • Incredibly low SQL Server datafile latency <3 ms FAST Cache increased SQL Server throughput by x4 (TPS/IOPS) while maintaining a very low latency of <3ms
