If you have a solution that has a good business justification then the money will be found for the licencing.
#Sql server 2012 enterprise edition licensing license
I think it is best to look at the business problem and work out what are the best technical solutions, and only after this look at license implications. * If you use availability groups, each node in the availability group needs its own SQL licencing If you have three or more nodes in the SQL Cluster then each additional node above two needs its own licencing * If you are using legacy SQL Server clustering, the passive node in a two-node cluster does not need an additional SQL licence. * All of the capabilities of Always On are included in the Enterprise Edition licence However it is only a guide, you absolutely need to speak to your licence reseller, tell them exactly what you want to do, do not assume they will get the right answer for anything you miss out, and you will probably get a variety of ways and prices for how the licencing can be done. Going back to the OP, this is what I understand about SQL licencing after many hours of negotiation with resellers and Microsoft.

However, I do have a stairway series to AlwaysOn available on this site starting at this link

What will be an overview of the steps for this kind of setup:ġ-Request the Extra Storage capacity on a Different SAN to allocate the Drives for the DatabasesĢ-Request a Windows Server to install the Standalone SQL Server that will be hosting the Secondary Replica (SQL SERVER Enterprise Extra license ?)Ĥ-Request an IP address for creating the availability group listener (network name)ĥ-Enable the AlwaysOn Feature on the two Nodes of the Failover Cluster Nodes and on the Standalone InstanceĦ-Configure the AlwaysOn (steps pending – defining the Availability Groups ? etc) how will be this on a Cluster environment.ħ-Decide the Availability Modes (Asynchronous preferably)Ĩ-Decide the Type of Failover (Manual Failover on our scenario as the SQL Server Failover Cluster does not support automatic Failover)ĩ-Redirect Applications to the new network name of the Availability Group ListenerĪs Kevin has said this really goes beyond a forum post.
?Database-level High Availability with AlwaysOn Availability groupsġ-Based on the purpose DR what will be SQL Server License associated cost (regular cost or special cost)Ģ-In our case what will be the best option or which one better applies? Instance level High Availability or Database Level High Availability?ģ-Do I have to re-point all my applications to the new Availability Group Listener instead of my current Failover SQL Server Instance ?Instance-level High Availability with AlwaysOn failover cluster instances
SQL Server Failover Cluster (2 nodes) Active-Passive (Hosting the CMS database) a dependency of the reporting solution hosted over SAN Storage 0 (X64) Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (Hypervisor) SQL Server Failover Cluster (2 nodes) Active – Passive (Hosting the Analytical Database) – hosted over SAN Storage 0 (X64) Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (Hypervisor) Scenario- we want to implement this for Disaster Recovery (In case of a SAN failure) Please can you guide me? or provide me a reference where I can find steps to configure this. HI I'm new on this, but the business wants to implement it as a DR alternative:
