Hi Folks,
Great podcast,
But I noticed one thing when you were talking of HA in SQL Server.
There is a feature known as Database Mirroring which is part of SQL Server 2005 and in previous releases had MCS(Microsoft Cluster Services).
So I think you may need to inform the audience that High Availability(HA) is still available in SQL Server.
Thanks
Thanking You
Best Regards
