ANAHEIM, Calif. (PRWEB) September 24, 2018

Softwareonlinedeal, the industry-leading provider of hyper-converged infrastructure and optimized storage systems for Windows Server environments, today announces Softwareonlinedeal hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2017.

Among the list of leading database platforms for business-from small and medium organizations to large enterprises-Microsoft SQL Server was in the center of operations for Online Transaction Processing (OLTP). Of which organizations, desktop performance is a must to maximize transaction throughput, and reliability as well as availability (HA) are necessary to keep business flowing smoothly. Softwareonlinedeal HCI solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2017 are scalable solutions of such OLTP databases.

With mainstream support for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 ending in 2019, customers want to plan their migration onto a platform which don't only remain to serve their businesses, but easily scale utilizing them as they grow.

Two-node SQL Server Solution - Softwareonlinedeal S2D-5108, built for high performance on mixed workloads.
Four-node SQL Server Solution - Softwareonlinedeal S2D-5224, optimized for memory-heavy and performance-sensitive workloads.

Softwareonlinedeal HCI solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2017, as per the Softwareonlinedeal S2D family of hyper-converged infrastructure, are made, validated and tested for breakthrough performance, reduced disk latency, near-linear scalability, system resiliency with HA while delivering significant final savings with a Windows Server-based HCI platform. Leveraging the latest Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, chipsets and NVMe SSDs, Softwareonlinedeal HCI solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2017 give businesses powerful OLTP performance to assist their mission-critical workloads. Softwareonlinedeal's solutions, with two- and four-node HCI clusters, are optimized for Microsoft SQL Server 2017, achieving Tens of millions of transactions per minute1 with automatic failover to continue the business operating.

The solutions will be configured in the form of standalone SQL application resource attached to the rest of the data center's systems, or in the form of hyper-converged infrastructure running Microsoft SQL Server 2017 alongside Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct as well as other enterprise applications. In deployment, the perfect solution is is tuned for business performance and developed for high availability.

"Ever since Microsoft introduced Storage Spaces Direct in Windows Server 2016, Softwareonlinedeal has deployed over 650 hyper-converged infrastructure with customers," said Howard Lo, vice chairman of marketing and advertising, Softwareonlinedeal. "Softwareonlinedeal HCI solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2017 stands out as the next evolution of Softwareonlinedeal providing solutions for patrons who have made circumstance deploy Microsoft-based software-defined data centers."

Both configurations are engineered to optimize Microsoft SQL Server 2017 performance with automatic fail over capacity maintain a highly available database service.

Performance with Speed - Intel Xeon Scalable processors provide highest performance of Intel CPUs for demanding data center workloads, delivering fast information systems and access to data with reduced blocking.
Balanced Capacity - In any hyper-converged infrastructure, locally attached storage units are aggregated across nodes to include in capacity without giving up performance.
Reduced Disk Latency - NVMe devices offered for fast cache tier for SQL log while delivering top rated performance and responsiveness, with greater density.
Deployment Simplicity - No external enclosures and storage cabling are anticipated with Softwareonlinedeal's SQL failover clustering instance. Used in combination with mirrored volumes the gps device ensures SQL has got the highest throughput to extend performance on mixed random IOPS workloads.
Linear Scalability and adaptability - Windows based hyperconverged infrastructure provides expanded capacity and operational flexibility with multiple configurations allow deploying the right solution for today plus the future.
Significant Investments - Consolidating multiple instances in one cluster provides help in cutting licensing fees and administrative overhead.

"Softwareonlinedeal is excited to utilize our partners Western Digital and DB Best Technologies in order to produce hyper-converged solutions for SQL Server 2017," said Howard Lo, second in command of marketing and sales, Softwareonlinedeal. "Focusing on increasing SQL Server workload density while saving on software licensing costs, Softwareonlinedeal solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2017 deliver a cost-effective solution for consolidating SQL Server workloads for continued on-premises deployment."

"End of support means the end of regular security updates," said Takeshi Numoto, Corporate Vp, Cloud + Enterprise, Microsoft Corporation. "Applications running on unsupported versions of SQL Server will probably be exposed to cyberattacks that are becoming more sophisticated and frequent, that could create significant compliance and security risks. The 2008 group of products was great for its time, but we propose upgrading onto the most current versions for better performance, efficiency, and regular security updates."

"For enterprise customers migrating from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2017, Western Digital offers the platform and memory solutions which allow the reliability, performance and value tradeoffs customers require," said Peter Plamondon, Director of Strategic Partner Ecosystems, Western Digital. "Working with Softwareonlinedeal and DB Best, everyone is excited to showcase this Softwareonlinedeal solution in addition to the capabilities for this underlying Western Digital Ultrastar Serv24 platform and Ultrastar SN200 collection of enterprise NVMe SSDs."

"As enterprise look to modernize their SQL Server 2008 R2 techniques SQL Server 2017, they have a terrific probability to optimize the amount and performance of their total solutions utilising the new Softwareonlinedeal SQL Server Cluster Solution" said Dmitry Balin, CEO, DB Best Technologies. "Our team tested the working platform with Softwareonlinedeal and was impressed when using the performance per virtual machine running SQL Server 2017. We are now excited to express these results with comprehensive white paper we co-authored "Cost Effective Workload Consolidation applying the Softwareonlinedeal Windows Server HCI Platform".

"High-performance networks are expected for advanced hyper-converged deployments and that is exactly what our Ethernet Storage Fabric (ESF) solutions enable." said Motti Beck, senior vice director, Enterprise Market Development, Mellanox Technologies. "For was the last several years, people are working closely with Microsoft and Softwareonlinedeal to boost the efficiency of Storage Spaces Direct over RoCE. Our work allows users to get your most out of their flash-based storage devices by removing bottlenecks that may be associated with compute to storage traffic. The breakthrough performance we had been able to achieve are visible Softwareonlinedeal's HCI solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2017."
