Implementing Clustering using SQL Server

High availability is becoming an ever-more pressing business need. Of all the technologies available to you, clustering is the slickest and easiest, but probably the trickiest in terms of setup. This session will take you through creating a clustered SQL Server. This will cover planning, prerequisities, security, installation, troubleshooting, configuring and supporting. It will focus on SQL Server 2005 but will include whats-new information for 2008 as well.
