HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server enables multiple Microsoft SQL Server instances to be consolidated onto substantially fewer servers and centralized SAN storage. HP PolyServe’s unique “shared data” architecture delivers enterprise class availability and virtualization-like flexibility in a utility platform.

Unlike server virtualization and traditional high availability products, it goes beyond just consolidation and simple failovers to provide scalable capacity allocation, on-the-fly instance mobility, and meets Microsoft’s SQL Server Always On requirements, making it the ideal solution for database consolidation.

PolyServe’s Database Utility for Microsoft SQL Server is specially designed for mission-critical applications. The Database Utility provides “bare metal” performance of Microsoft SQL Server and protects against both planned and unplanned downtime.
