Organizations have a requirement to build high availability and disaster recovery (HADR) solutions for their complex SQL Server infrastructure to prevent data loss and protect against corruption. With the rapid pace of cloud adoption, businesses across different industry verticals have realized the value of a successful proof-of-concept for any technical project that migrates existing environments […]

Geological and Geophysical (G&G) workloads in Upstream Energy have different workflows associated with them, including Reservoir Simulation, Subsurface Interpretation, and Drilling and Completions. Due to the diverse performance and client requirements of these workflows, organizations often face a heavy operational burden of copying their data to multiple solutions for different protocols. Until recently, they faced […]

Organizations perform refreshes of database environments to ensure they can perform development, testing, and QA on copies of the most up-to-date, production-like datasets. In addition, IT teams are tasked with managing increasing data footprints, while maintaining the highest levels of availability, resiliency, and performance. Many customer development cycles maintain DTAP (Development, Test, Acceptance, and Production) […]

Due to need to control costs in the face of exponential data growth, doing more with existing on-premise resources while minimizing their growth has become ever more important.
