SQL Server 2005 for Online Platform

We worked closely with this major magazine publishing house to architect and implement a highly available database platform to serve website content for each of their magazines titles. This is a true 24x7 environment where performance and availability would be crucial. The project represented a significant captial investment and the customers' brand reputation was at stake so failure was not an option!

The project involved planning and designing a Windows Server 2003 cluster solution, hosting several SQL Server 2005 instances. Data from these servers is used to deliver dynamic content and graphics for separate websites for each magazine title, each written using ASP .NET.

Additionally, we worked to configure performance and availability monitoring using Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) with automated alerting to ensure the customers' service level targets continue to be met.
