AlwaysOn: Objectives
• Increased availability• Improved hardware utilization• Simplified administration
AlwaysOn: Availability
Instance Availability Database Availability
AlwaysOn: Instance Availability• Enhances Windows Failover Clustering
with:– Enhanced diagnostics– Flexible failover policies– Easier multi-site clustering
AlwaysOn: Health & Diagnostics
Five Resource Types:• System• Resources• Query Processing• IO Subsystem• Events
AlwaysOn: Failover Policies
ConditionPolicy Number

Windows Service Down • • • • •Cannot Obtain Health • • • •System Reports Error • • •Resource Reports Error • •Query Processing Reports Error •
AlwaysOn: Multi-Site Clustering• Multi-site clustering supported since 2005
– VLAN required between sites– Storage-level replication separate from SQL Server
• Multi-subnet support with 2012– Storage-level replication still separate from SQL Server
DNS
Site A Site B
AlwaysOn: Database Availability• Enhances database mirroring with:– Multiple Secondaries– Availability Groups– Virtual Network Name– Readable Secondaries
AlwaysOn: Availability Groups
• Multiple user databases in replicated set• Failover together within topology
AlwaysOn: Secondaries
• 1 primary + up to 4 secondaries– 2 max synchronous secondaries
• Provide failover & automatic page correction• 1 secondary in automatic failover pair
AlwaysOn: Secondaries
AlwaysOn: Automated Failover

AlwaysOn: Virtual Network Name
• Virtual Network Name (VNN) established with Windows Failover Cluster Services (WFCS)
• Availability Group Listener interacts with WFCS to identify primary Availability Group
• Applications connect to VNN or individual server names
Virtual Network Name
AlwaysOn: Readability
• All secondaries support backups• 2 secondaries can be designated readable• Availability Group Listener can route read-
only workloads to readable secondaries– Routing list prioritizes secondaries– Application must specify
ReadOnly intent
Virtual Network Name
AlwaysOn: Administration
Windows Core Server Support
• Supports:– Database Engine– Analysis Services– Integration Services
Security: Contained Databases
Instance
User
Login
Instance
User/Login
Useful in scenarios when need to move a database:• AlwaysOn• Application Development• Azure
Security: Contained Databases
• Supports Windows & SQL authentication– Windows-only recommended for authentication
security & DoS concerns
• Must be enabled at instance-level and implemented for specific databases
• Access to instance-level resources permitted– Database becomes partially contained– Partial containment monitored through
sys.dm_db_uncontained_entities & cdb_uncontained_usage event
Security: Contained Databases• Increased potential attack surface– db_owner, db_securityadmin, or users
with ALTER ANY USER permissions can grant access without knowledge of instance admins
• Drives security administration to multiple levels– DB-level logins can access other
databases through guest or corresponding logins or user-accounts
Security
• BUILTIN\Admins & LocalSystem• Managed service accounts & virtual
accounts• Custom server roles
Security: Audit Improvements• Server-level audit available in every
edition– Database-level audit in Enterprise &
Developer only
• Fail operation options for log failures• More information in audit logs• Audits can be defined with filters• sp_audit_write proc for custom audit
Resource Governor Enhancements
• Support for 64 resource pools• Hard caps for CPU usage– CPU does not wait for contention
• Resource pools can be assigned affinity for specific schedulers or NUMA nodes
Performance Improvements
• Full-text search– Fully integrated with database engine– Improved query optimization & parallelism– Versioning to improve concurrent reads &
writes
• Spatial indexes– Numerous improvements to indexes– Helper procs for easier index tuning– Support for row and page-level compression– Query plan optimizations
Performance Improvements
• Expanded online operations– Add a non-nullable column with a
default– Index rebuilds support BLOBs
• Support for 15k partitions– Back ported to SQL Server 2008 & 2008
R2
• Columnstore indexes!

Columnstore Index Execution Plan
With Columnstore Index
Without Columnstore Index
Columnstore Index Scan• Scans required index columns• Optimized for batch retrieval
– Retrieves ~1,000 rows per batch– Batches proceed to subsequent filtering
Batch Hash Table Build & Hash Match• Multiple filtering values organized as hash table• Hash table applied to index scan batches
