HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server enables multiple Microsoft SQL Server instances to be consolidated onto substantially fewer servers and centralized SAN storage. HP PolyServe's unique "shared data" architecture delivers enterprise class availability and virtualization-like flexibility in a utility platform. Unlike server virtualization and traditionally high availability products, it goes beyond just consolidation and simple failovers to provide scalable capacity allocation, on-the-fly instance mobility, and meets Microsoft’s SQL Server Always On requirements, making it the ideal solution for database consolidation. The software supports HP ProLiant Servers and SAN storage arrays. Installation and optimization services are available to help customers successfully migrate from Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to 2005.

• Adaptive Scalable Microsoft SQL Server Platform: Dynamic Re-Hosting provides Instance Mobility, the ability to move SQL Server instances from one server to another with less than 30 seconds of downtime, to optimize resources based on shifting workloads

• High Availability for Mission-Critical Applications: Provides zero-downtime architecture for SQL Server databases that drastically reduces both planned and unplanned downtime.
