S26.E0315 - Migrating Legacy SQL Server FCI to SQL Availability Groups on Nutanix AHV

from Runtime Reality Hosted by Kenneth Henseler

Join us as we deconstruct a highly complex, mission-critical database migration. We explore the strategic shift from legacy SQL Server 2016 Failover Cluster Instances (FCI) to a modern, shared-nothing SQL Server 2022 Always On Availability Group architecture hosted on Nutanix AHV. Discover the intricacies of leveraging Distributed Availability Groups, a powerful feature that allows you to span two separate availability groups across different physical or virtual clusters to achieve near-zero downtime cutovers. We also dive into the critical role of manual database seeding across major version upgrades, and how Nutanix Volume Groups and Flow Network Security microsegmentation enforce massive parallel performance and Zero Trust security for Tier-1 enterprise workloads.
