I am currently moving on to the jungle of SQL Server scaling technologies such as replication, logging, mirroring ... I have the following limitations of my choice:
- I want read-only downloads to be distributed across the primary and secondary (mirror, subscriber) server
- Load loading can be sent directly to the main server
- The solution should be practically free. Schema changes should simply be replicated to the secondary server (note: replication has some serious limitations here, as it seems)
- Written data should be available very quickly (in less than 1 second, but would be better instantly) on a secondary server
- If the server crashes, I can easily lose up to one hour of data loss. I'm more interested in simple scalability
Here are a few options for what I could choose: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510414.aspx . Any experience you could share?
