This paper provides best practices for using Dell Unity XT storage systems in a Microsoft SQL Server environment. SQL Server is an incredibly robust product that can be used in various solutions. Therefore, the relative priorities of critical design goals such as performance, manageability, and flexibility depend on your environment. This paper provides important considerations and recommendations to help meet your design goals. For general best practices using Dell Unity XT systems, see the Dell Unity XT Best Practices Guide on the Dell Unity Info Hub.
These guidelines are intended to cover most use cases and are recommended by Dell Technologies, but not strictly required.
