  • Hi,

    I don't think there is a concept of database level clustering in sql server, clustering has always been on windows as parent and it has to be instance level clustering. Correct me if i'm wrong

    Database mirroring offers you redundancy at the database level, fail over clustering performs at the instance level

  • I think sql 2012 provides redundancy at DB level as well?

  • Yes, SQL Server 2012 supports DB mirroring as well as a new feature called AlwaysOn, which is like advanced DB mirroring that can mirror groups of databases to multiple secondaries.

    SQL Server 2012 also supports database mirroring although this feature is now deprecated and marked for removal in a future version\service pack.

    Always On groups are the new HA feature in SQL Server 2012 and combine the clustering and mirroring technologies to create an extremely highly available SQL Server system.
