Slow performance and unavailable critical applications can impinge a company’s progress. You can apply patches and updates to improve application quality and user experience, but these changes need to be tested in resource-intensive environments before deployment. Keeping these applications accessing data is vital, too, as on-premises events can put availability at risk.
Our Dell EMC VMAX 250F and PowerEdge server solution supported test/dev environments and production database applications simultaneously without affecting the production applications’ performance. As we added VMs designed for test/dev environments, the production workload maintained an acceptable level of IOPS and achieved an average storage latency of less than a millisecond. The solution also kept data highly available with no downtime and no performance drop when we initiated a lost host connection for the primary storage. To run critical database applications of your company, consider the Dell EMC VMAX 250F for your datacenter.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

Windows Failover Clustering Configuration for SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn
Availability Groups
Prior to configuring the Windows Server Failover Cluster, it is assumed that you have the
appropriate rights in Active Directory. For a complete listing of the different Active Directory
permissions to create a Windows Server Failover Cluster, see Failover Cluster StepbyStep
Guide: Configuring Accounts in Active Directory. To configure Windows Failover Clustering,
● Launch Failover Cluster Manager from within the Server Manager console.
● Within Failover Cluster Manager, click the Validate Configuration… link.
● In the Validate a Configuration Wizard dialog box, click Next.
4.
In the Select Servers or a Cluster dialog box, add the server hostnames of the SQL Server
instances that you want to configure as replicas in your Availability Group. Click Next.
●
●
● In the Testing Options dialog box, make sure that the option Run all tests
(recommended) is selected. Click Next.
● In the Confirmation dialog box, click Next.
● In the Summary dialog box, click Finish to create the Windows Failover Cluster.
● NOTE: The Failover Cluster Validation Wizard is expected to return several Warning
messages, especially if you will not be using shared storage. As we mentioned earlier,
there is no need to use shared storage to create the Windows Server Failover Cluster
that we will use for our Availability Group. Just be aware of these Warning messages as
we will configure a file share witness for our cluster quorum configuration. However, if
you see any Error messages, you need to fix those first prior to creating the Windows
Server Failover Cluster.
5. ● In the Access Point for Administering the Cluster dialog box, enter the virtual server
name and virtual IP address of your Windows Server Failover Cluster.
●
● In the Confirmation dialog box, click Next. This will create the Windows Failover
Cluster using the servers as nodes of the cluster, add DNS and Active Directory entries
for the cluster hostname.
● In the Summary dialog box, verify that the configuration is successful.
● To configure the cluster quorum configuration to use a file share, rightclick on the
cluster name, select More Actions and click Configure Cluster Quorum Settings…
We will be configuring a file share witness for our cluster quorum setting. By default, the
wizard will configure the cluster to use Node Majority.
6. ●
● Click Next.
● In the Select Quorum Configuration page, select the Add or change the quorum
witness option. Click Next.
● In the Select Quorum Witness page, select the Configure a file share witness
(recommended for special configuration) option. Click Next.
● In the Configure File Share Witness page, type path of the file share that you want to
use in the File Share Path: text box. Click Next.
● In the Confirmation page, click Next.
● In the Summary page, click Finish.
Enable SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Groups Feature
Once the Windows Server Failover Cluster has been created, we can now proceed with
enabling the AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature in SQL Server 2012. This needs to be done

○ Listener DNS name: Name that you will use in your application connection
string
○ Port: 1433
○
12. Click the Add… button to provide an IP address. In the Add IP Address dialog box,
enter your preferred virtual IP address in the IPv4 Address field. Click OK. Click Next.
13. In the Select Initial Data Synchronization page, select the Full option. Provide a
shared folder that is accessible the replicas and that the SQL Server service account
used by both replicas has Writepermissions to. This is just a temporary file share to
store the database backups that will be used to initialize the databases in an Availability
group. If you are dealing with large databases, it is recommended that you manually
initialize the databases prior to configuring them as your network bandwidth may not be
able to accommodate the size of the database backups. Click Next.
