Microsoft SQL Server is being increasingly used as the database of choice to support high available and high performance applications. Also, SQL Server is being used as the database of choice for SAP implementations. More than 20,000 customers worldwide are running SAP applications with SQL Server and 42 percent of all new R/3 and mySAP deployments use SQL Server. The key advantages of using SAP with SQL Server include improved performance, ability to support large databases, comprehensive data management features and ability to run on standard commodity servers and storage. Since both SAP system and SQL Server are critical, customers are choosing Sonasoft for providing reliable backup/recovery and disaster recovery capability. SonaSafe Backup and Recovery Suite offers total protection through reliable backup and gives customers the ability to be up and running quickly in case of system failure or total disaster. When recovery is required, SonaSafe automatically determines which files need to be restored and quickly performs the recovery from backup data stored to internal hard disks. There's no need to hunt for backup tapes or determine the correct restore path. Human error and unnecessary downtime are eliminated, and the data is available within minutes, instead of hours.
