Course Description
Windows Server and applications on it are ubiquitous in almost all of the of the organizations. Their popularity brings its own issues like making these products always available, against hardware and software issues and hacking attacks. Windows and related products has had many options for high availability. This course is designed to provide necessary information and practice for these options.
Course Objectives
- Familiarizing with Windows services
- Explaining the built-in high availability options
- Explaining Domain Controllers in a Windows domain and availability they provide
- Explaining the SQL Server Always On Mechanism
- Explaining the Network Load Balancing and DNS Round-Robin Mechanism for IIS
Who Should Attend?
- IT professionals
- IT Developers
- Anyone with basic understanding of Hyper-V
