Database server administration and Tiering
I work for the an Emergency services group in Australia
I've recently thought to create 3 tiers of database classification
Tier 1 - Is multi Availability Groups and multiple servers - Include AG1 for high security, AG2 high available 1. Updates etc can be applied to servers in this environment in a staged manner
Tier 2 - A single Fail over cluster - this has the production non core services - like reporting services
Tier 3 - Includes the non production environments and maybe fail over clusters for accurate testing
Some things I would envisage being a benefit from this model is
Logging for sensitive data sets can be ramped up on a individual AV Group - inline with the business desires. Testing for Service packs etc can be implemented onto production to get final UAT while having a back out plan
Migration to Cloud based or "as a service" will be less painful.
So my questions are
Would you consider building different Database environments based on security and operational need?
Do you agree with this as a strategy?
Is there a different proffered option ?
How would you sell the concept with Management - given this adds complexity to daily management and implementation resource requirements?
