SQL 2012 SharePoint Enhancements

November 9, 2011

The recent SharePoint Conference gives users a lot to look forward to (see: enhancements formerly known as “Denali.”) There are some big things worth noting and paying attention to.

One of my favorite bloggers gave a list of what’s coming and people should be excited. A great recap of SQL 2012 is discussed by SharePoint Joel in his post, “Top 10 SQL 2012 ‘Denali” Enhancements for SharePoint.” He covers big points, such as SQL Reporting Services, cross farm reporting, and security improvements. However, the big focus is on disaster recovery. We learned:

Disaster Recovery and Resiliency Improvements – Always On – this was the big one. At the SharePoint Conference they showed an automatic failover of a 14 TB database in less than one minute.  There’s a ton in here.  Improvements to combining the best of log shipping and mirroring into one.  Such as automatic failover for groups of databases with automatic or manual failover or failover an entire instance of SQL.  Don’t forget the ability to do failover multi site across subnets with encryption and compression built in and with multiple secondaries.
