A Modern Alternative to WSFC & Pacemaker

SQL Server High Availability Without Platform Lock-In

Simplify SQL Server high availability across Windows, Linux, hybrid cloud, and containers with one flexible clustering platform. DxEnterprise lets you improve the infrastructure you have today, or change platforms tomorrow without starting over with a new HA solution.

  • Replace WSFC or Pacemaker without rearchitecting your entire SQL Server environment
  • Consolidate SQL Server infrastructure to reduce OS sprawl, licensing costs, and management overhead
  • Build cross-platform HA across Windows, Linux, sites, and clouds
  • Modernize on your terms with a path to highly available SQL Server containers and Kubernetes when—and if—you’re ready

Replace Platform-Specific Clustering with One SQL Server High Availability Solution

Your operating system and infrastructure strategy should not dictate your high availability and disaster recovery architecture for SQL Server.

CHOOSE the SQL Server Architecture That Works for Your Organization

WINDOWS
Replace WSFC while preserving your existing SQL Server investment. Consolidate instances, reduce passive infrastructure, and simplify failover management.

LINUX
Replace Pacemaker with SQL-aware clustering designed to simplify deployment, monitoring, and automatic failover.

CONTAINERS IN KUBERNETES
Automate the deployment of highly available SQL Server containers in Kubernetes/OpenShift using DxEnterprise’s included SQL Server Kubernetes Operator.

MIXED WINDOWS + LINUX + CONTAINERS
Create cross-platform SQL Server Availability Groups that span native and containerized deployments, and maintain HA as workloads move between operating systems.

1 FOR 1 SWAP

Replace WSFC or Pacemaker in minutes. Re-manage your SQL Server AG clusters with DxEnterprise to simplify day-to-day management in Windows or Linux, and to enable platform-flexibility for the future.

OPTIMIZE & EXTEND

Get more value out of the infrastructure you already have. Consolidate SQL Server workloads, reduce passive server and OS sprawl, and if desired, begin extending your environment to create hybrid clusters that span legacy & modern cloud-native platforms side-by-side.

MODERNIZE

Migrate production workloads to modernized platforms if and when it makes sense. Ensure consistent high availability and network security through any cross-platform migration, from anywhere, to anywhere.

With DH2i, you’re free to architect the perfect high availability cluster for your business. But don’t take our word for it, see for yourself.
Try it out for free and install on your existing infrastructure with just a few clicks.

High Availability Without Networking Friction

DxEnterprise eliminates network friction by combining SQL Server clustering with built-in Zero Trust networking, allowing cluster nodes to securely communicate across data center boundaries, clouds, or hybrid infrastructure without:

  • Complicated VPNs and traditional dependencies
  • Firewall manipulations
  • Exposing SQL Server through inbound ports
  • Network reconfiguration

Ready for SQL Server on Kubernetes? So is Your HA.

If SQL Server in Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift becomes part of your strategy, you can easily extend your existing environment to containers with DxOperator.
