Dell APEX Block Storage for Public Cloud enables customers to easily deploy and run their workloads in the cloud. Dell APEX Block Storage for Public Cloud can be deployed across multiple availability zones and supports both EBS-based volumes that offer persistence and native NVMe SSD drives for increased performance. Using the APEX Block Storage two-layer software defined infrastructure design, customers can deploy and scale both APEX Block Storage and compute nodes independently to match the growth demands of their critical workloads.
SQL Server 2022 multisubnet failover cluster on Amazon EC2 instances provides improved availability and disaster recovery capabilities for SQL Server deployments. This paper demonstrates how SQL Server 2022 failover clusters can be configured across availability zones with Dell APEX Block Storage for Public Cloud and showcases the performance that can be achieved with SQL Server databases running on Dell APEX Block Storage for Public Cloud.
