DxEnterprise is multi-platform Smart Availability software built on patented technology that achieves the highest levels of availability for SQL Server instances, SQL 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 – all without relying on cumbersome cluster orchestration technologies like Pacemaker or WSFC.

Easiest failover software for SQL Server

What do you like best?

This software makes it incredibly easy to do failover for SQL Server. If you have ever used PolyServe, DxEnterprise offers all of the same features and more. Plus it is a supported tool unlike Polyserve.

DxEnterprise makes it easy to install a new SQL Instance, upgrade an existing SQL instance and failover an instance. On top of that, it will fail over any services you want along with the instance and will move the SAN disk over to the failover machine too.

It is a stable and very useful tool supported by an excellent team at DH2i

What do you dislike?

The ONLY feature that I dislike is when I have built a bad template for install and the install fails. The error message it gives back is not that descript and I need to dig into the filesystem to grab a copy of the summary.txt file to figure out what went wrong.

This annoyance is very minor though and exists with SQL Server itself.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are looking for a cost effective failover solution for your environment, DxEnterprise is the way to go. It offers support for any windows service to fail over to a secondary (or more) machine. You can even group like services or sql instances together and fail over a group without failing over the entire machine.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The problems that this tool solves are failover. This is a cost effective, cross platform tool for handling failover of SQL instances and, as of the last time I investigated this, is the only tool that offers cross platform failover. What I mean by cross platform failover is you can have your primary SQL instance hosted on a Windows VM and your secondary on a Linux VM and DxEnterprise can fail this over easily. This can help reduce costs of licensing on your Windows VM's.

On top of that, if you need to do maintenance on a SQL instance, failovers take the time it takes for the SQL instance to come online. At my workplace, this is approximately 1 minute on our slowest to start instance. And the instances start up concurrently so the failover takes as long as the slowest to start instance. Due to this, it is possible to do server maintenance (with a minor interruption) during company uptime.
