Dear Experts.
I have one sql server configured on windows server 2008 r2 with one public IP in my head office. Other branch offices access that server from different locations. We are planing to build one more SQL server in public Cloud so that we can access our data if that physical server fails in Head office goes down. I know this is the funny implementation of SQL but this is the exact status of that network.
i want below mentioned things.
(a) Physical server in Head office and Server in cloud should be synced/replicated (there is no AD but could be installed if required).
(b) I want a way where user will hit a virtual IP and will access SQL (because both sql are in different location with only public IP) . May be round robin or as per server utilization ratio (50/50, 60/40)
(c) If any one goes down there should not be any impact for users. Right now all users are pointed to Physical server in HO.
i thought to build one more server in HO and creating some NLB kind of stuff as I dun have AD and share store for clustering using windows services. Is this possible?
