  • Faster, more efficient creation: Create standby databases across multiple instances in just a few clicks.
  • Improved functionality: Built-in pre-checks detect issues before configuration creation, not after, saving time and your patience!
  • Simplify Maintenance Tasks: Switch to Read Only mode in a single click, or facilitate patching and DR Tests with zero-data-loss graceful switchovers. 
  • Automate Failover: A fully-featured Observer utility that can automate failover, and run specific scripts after failover.
  • Enhanced Usability: Streamlined and repeatable, StandyMP ensures any member of the team can initiate a failover as required while following best practice.

AVAILABILITY GROUPS

Comparison to Basic AGs

  • Meet your RTO/RPO requirements with a continuously verified standby database that is always available and ready to take over the moment you need it.
  • Easy to implement with wide SQL Server version support and no requirement to set up clustering.
  • Speed up with multi-database actions, guided workflows, and one-click actions.
  • Simplify with automated standby creation, automated failover, and user replication.
  • Do more with zero-data-loss planned switchovers, read-only access and more.
  • Improve resilience with multiple standby databases and one-click issue resolutions.
  • Remove complexity and risk by managing your DR from an intuitive central console. 
Basic Availability Groups

How it works

A simple implementation consists of one primary database and one standby database.

  • Creation: One or more standby databases are efficiently created.
  • Synchronization: StandbyMP synchronizes the databases by compressing, sending, and applying logs to the standby(s). Frequency of log transmission can be set to meet your RPO objectives.
  • Monitoring: Real-time monitoring identifies exceptions and sends alert notifications.
  • Failover: Failover can be initiated automatically or with a single click. Database failover completes within a few minutes.

Log Shipping is great when it works but, when it breaks it’s such a headache and you usually have to just start over. StandbyMP manages DR so much better – now it’s not just a case of looking back at notes from last year and trying to understand what was done. While being based on Log Shipping, Standby is overall a far superior solution for SQL Server DR.
