    Overview

    DxEnterprise is multi-platform Smart Availability software built on patented technology that achieves the highest levels of availability for SQL Server instances and availability groups, containers, and apps across both Windows and Linux environments. It can be used to manage a variety of workloads at the instance level – as well as Docker containers. DxEnterprise is particularly optimized for native or containerized Microsoft SQL Server deployments on any platform and is also adept at management of Oracle on Windows. With DxEnterprise, organizations get advanced fault detection to minimize outages and complete instance mobility from any host to any host, anywhere.

    DxEnterprise expands its Smart Availability capabilities to SQL Server availability groups (AGs) with DxEnterprise for AGs. DxEnterprise for AGs is the only tool on the market that enables SQL Server AGs to be made highly available within and between Windows and Linux nodes across any type of infrastructure, including support for containers - all without relying on cumbersome cluster orchestration technologies like Pacemaker or WSFC.

    DxEnterprise unlocks these key benefits:

    ✔️ Highest levels of availability

    ✔️ Immediate 25%-60% licensing savings

    ✔️ Peak utilization and consolidation

    ✔️ Near-zero planned and unplanned downtime

    ✔️ Management simplicity

    DH2i is a software provider with over 10 years of experience, helping customers around the world enhance their IT management and SQL Server capabilities with DxEnterprise.

    Windows Server Failover Clustering provides infrastructure features that support the high-availability and disaster recovery scenarios of hosted server applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange. If a cluster node or service fails, the services that were hosted on that node can be automatically or manually transferred to another available node in a process known as failover.
