I have a couple of blogs extoling the greatness of the latest virtual labs that Microsoft has created for you and me…it might help some folks to actually review some of the features of SQL Server 2012 first before going and doing a lab. This eBook has some information that may help introduce the newest features of SQL Server, including the first chapter (or second?) entitled High Availability and Disaster Recovery Enchancements, which includes the AlwaysOn feature, destined to be very popular as another method at our disposal for keeping SQL Server available.
Check it out here and look for the final edition.
Happy eBooking!

I thought that this was the release for something equivalent to RAC in SQL Server. I guess not.
