SonaSafe® for Microsoft SQL Servers

SonaSafe® for SQL Server offers very unique high availability and disaster recovery functionality. With Sonasafe for SQL Server implementation, failing over to secondary or destination server, is as simple as clicking a few buttons on an easy to use web-user interface. From there, when the old primary site, or source server, comes back, failing back is again very simple without the need to perform the full backup and full restore.

The Sonasoft Standby Solution builds easy-to-manage standby plans that effectively replicate your data without interfering in normal business operations. This includes CPU utilization on the primary server as well in limiting network contention by reducing network traffic through on the fly, high speed compression.

The Sonasoft Standby Solution automates all of the critical steps involved, making the process completely transparent to the user. The solution is driven by self-explanatory screen wizards, armed with highly powerful monitoring capabilities at different levels. When disaster strikes, role switching is just one click away, as a series of complex database operations are performed in the background to switch the destination server(s) to the primary role.
