You will get SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance (FCI) setup for high availability
Rising Talent
Project details
I help businesses keep their databases running even if a server fails by setting up SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance (FCI).
In simple terms, this means if one server goes down, another server automatically takes over without stopping your system. This helps prevent downtime and keeps your applications running smoothly.
This is ideal for businesses that need continuous availability and cannot afford system interruptions.
I provide complete SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance (FCI) setup to ensure high availability and system continuity.
What you will get:
Windows Failover Cluster setup
Shared storage configuration
SQL Server FCI installation
Active-Passive node configuration
Automatic failover setup
Failover testing and validation
Basic monitoring guidance
Documentation
I can work with new or existing environments.
If you're unsure whether FCI or Always On is right for you, feel free to message me.
