Learning Live from the SQL on Linux Roadshow
By Stacey Gilmore
For a couple of weeks now, HPE has participated in a worldwide roadshow featuring Microsoft SQL Server 2017 on Linux. Audience interest and excitement from the HPE session have centered on the impressive performance benefits of running SQL server with fast persistent memory, and our predictive, multicloud ready flash storage offerings.
In addition, after attending a few of these events live, here are some key trends and needs weโve learned about from Microsoft and our customers:
- Challenging Horizon for SQL DBAs - Accoding to Forbes (New Problems, New Approaches: The Rise of the Generalist & VMware: The Rise of the IT Generalist), companies are hiring fewer storage experts and more IT generalists, who are quite often overloaded SQL DBAs (See the article in Toadworld). With growing demands and fewer resources, one thing is clear: todayโs infrastructure must do more so people can do less. During roadshow events, Microsoft has emphasized SQL 2017โs nascent machine learning capabilities that allow the database to run scripts created by staff to โfix itselfโ.
- Data copies now consume more storage capacity than production data - As this article in "CIO Magazine" attests, companies want to continue to both deliver business value and 'keep the lights on.' However, this increasingly means not only delivering great performance and availability, but also protecting SQL data and achieving business continuity. Such copy data management related workflows may now consume over 60% of production storage capacity โ more than production. See this Computerworld article for details.
- Achieving anywhere portability for SQL 2017 data is still a challenge. Itโs clear companies want to move more SQL data to Azure. And Microsoft predicts that SQL 2017 containers will be ubiquitous. Thanks to Microsoft, your SQL 2017 database and applications will move anywhere, yet the data inside will not. At the Sunnyvale event, Microsoft invited consultants to speak about easing the migration process to move SQL data. If only it were possible to easily move the data with the database and avoid the need for painful migration.
HPE Storage can help you achieve the Microsoft Vision
Having made big bets and early investments ahead of the industry in each of these areas, we have proven solutions to address these important challenges for customers. HPE offers the industryโs first line of multicloud-ready and proven, predictive flash storage offerings engineered to do more and make life easier for IT generalists and over-worked DBAโs. Here are some reasons to run the industryโs leading database (as defined in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Operational Database Management Systems 2017) on our industry leading flash storage (per Gartner Magic Quadrant for General-Purpose Disk Arrays 2017).
- Artificial Intelligence for your data center and Azure cloud - Thereโs no need to worry about your SQL infrastructure. HPE InfoSight takes care of it for you by using machine learning to analyze data from all the of the systems in our global install base. With almost a decadeโs worth of experience, predictive analytics, and an algorithm that gets smarter and more reliable with every system and issue analyzed, we guarantee six-9s of availability from storage. InfoSight predictive analytics is available on HPE Cloud Volumes, HPE Nimble Storage and HPE 3PAR arrays.
- Copy data management - Whether youโre making data copies for dev/test, business continuity, data protection, or data mining, HPE flash storage offers built-in capabilities that can be used standalone, or to enhance copy data management workflows via SQL or your favorite 3rd party copy data management vendor. Capabilities range from simple SQL-consistent snapshots and data replication to more sophisticated and cloud-integrated approaches that tier and move active and archival copies to Azure. You can reduce costs and recover data in the cloud or on-premises. For more info on SQL Data Protection and Business Continuity check out a few of our other posts:
- HPE StoreOnce and Recovery Manager Central for Transparent Protection of Your Database
- Looking for fast, affordable database protection? Look to Recovery Manager Central for SQL Server
- Letโs discuss Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery for SQL Server at Microsoft Ignite
- SQL Data Portability for DevOps, Containers, and to/from Azure Cloud - With HPE Cloud Volumes. you can easily move to the cloud with fast data on-ramping and avoid slow and manual migrations. You get the simplicity of native elastic cloud storageโwith enterprise-grade capabilities. For more info on how multicloud storage can help, check out our Multicloud Storage for Dummies book.
Microsoft makes a compelling case:
SQL 2017 containers will make maintaining your database easier. But did you know they wonโt help you manage data that goes with the containers? Thatโs why HPE became the first and only storage vendor to offer rich data services for both Windows and Linux Containers with rich integration to Docker, Mesosphere, Kubernetes, and Redhat OpenShift. For an example, of how this works, view our joint session with Microsoft at this yearโs Ignite.
No matter where or how you run SQL Server โ HPE has you covered.
