In this session we’ll rapidly discuss the MSCS clustering architecture and deploying the system into your environment. We’ll then jump into a demo where we actually cluster a Windows and SQL Server system in under 60 minutes. We’ll discuss the administration tools and best practices on clustering and walk you through completing a cluster and fixing problems along the way. After this session, you should have just enough information to build you own SQL Server that is highly available.

This white paper was written by Alain Dumas, founder of Sunopis. Looks interesting. Looks like they sell a tool that does ETL, replication, data cleaning, and more. We haven't reviewed the product, just thought it was something that might be of interest to our readers
