Book Description

1430219661 978-1430219668 July 21, 2009 1

Pro SQL Server 2008 Failover Clustering is destined to become the definitive book on failover clustering for SQL Server. Written by the same Allan Hirt who wrote and co-wrote Microsoft’s SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 failover clustering whitepapers, the book is authoritative and will appeal to readers due to Allan’s prominence in the field. Allan has been prominent in the topic of this book from day-one.

Failover clustering is a key technology that is part of any high-availability solution, and high-availability is becoming increasingly important as companies demand 24x7 access to key, business data. Allan Hirt wrote the only book on SQL Server high-availability and clustering for SQL Server 2005. Allan’s audience will remember him, and will buy this new book on failover clustering, confident in getting the same level of authoritative quality that they’ve come to associate with the name Allan Hirt.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want one book with all of the details, this is it, November 1, 2009
This review is from: Pro SQL Server 2008 Failover Clustering (Expert's Voice in SQL Server) (Paperback)
I bought the eBook version of this book from the publisher's website about two months before the official release because I needed a good clustering reference. As soon as it was released, I had my boss buy the printed version for our team to use at work.

Failover clustering is very critical to our high availability strategy, and clustering experts are in short supply. I don't expect it to make me an expert on the topic, but so far it has served me very well as my main resource for in-depth information on clustering.

I've recommended this book many times to others. I have found the information in some of the other books to be flawed and not always correct. This book is not only authoritative on the subject, but it has proven to be more accurate than the other books I've checked out or heard about.

This review is from: Pro SQL Server 2008 Failover Clustering (Expert's Voice in SQL Server) (Paperback)

It a valuable book, answers most of the questions you might have about 2008 clustering.
I just wish it was deeper on cluster design and there was a generic preparation/implementation checklist for convenience.
