Database Optimization for Blockchain-Scale Workloads

Client Requirement

  • The client required a reliable, license- compliant disaster recovery (DR) solution to protect their antivirus system—without the use of cloud-based infrastructure or SQL Enterprise features.

Key Challenges

  • Highly restricted network and security constraints
  • Limited to SQL Server Standard Edition with CAL
  • No Enterprise HA/DR features available (e.g. multi-DB AGs)
  • No external or cloud DR infrastructure permitted

Proposed Hybrid Architecture

  • Primary Site: 2-node Always On AG with synchronous commit
  • DR Site: Standby node with passive AG, activated only during DR
  • Log Shipping: From primary site to DR site (asynchronous)
  • Failover: Auto within site, manual to DR site with tail log restore

Technology Stack

  • SQL Server Standard Edition
  • Always On AG (2-node)
  • Log Shipping
  • Tail Log Restore for DR

Failover Strategy

  • Node Failure (Primary Site): Automatic failover within AG Full Site Failure: Manual failover to DR via log shipping DR Activation: Tail log recovery and bring DB online

Business Benefits

  • License Compliant – no Enterprise dependency
  • Cost-Effective – avoids expensive tooling
  • High Availability through Always On AG
  • Reliable DR through log shipping

Strategic Impact

Delivered enterprise-grade availability and disaster recovery within the tight constraints of security, licensing, and budget—without compromising reliability or maintainability.

Why US

We specialize in building license-aware, high- resilience architectures that work within real- world constraints. Our practical and robust DR solutions are trusted across industries.
