SQL Dedicated Server Configuration is an important setup for SQL databases, these include the following :

- Affinity Mask
- Lightweight Pooling
- Max Async IO
- Max Worker Threads
- Memory
- Priority Boost
- Set Working Set Size

SQL Dedicated Servers can achieve good performance with only a bit of tweaks. This include applications / database configurations. SQL servers always have higher trend to increase performance. SQL Server also has automatic configurations for the server. If SQL is not configured properly, it may cause a lot of problems on the dedicated server. It is very important that we make a note of every installation and configuration.

It also includes the following features :

- Replication
- Text Search
- XML Data Management
- Service Analysis and Alerts
- SQL Server Agent
- SQL Browser
- SQL Debugging
- SQLimail
- Mirroring of Database

SQL Dedicated Servers can be utilized for database management of high-end configuration.

SQL Server Clusters are setup when requirements of applications or Databases are not met. This is a setup to ensure performance is maintained at all times. While setting up a Cluster, you need to make sure you have noticed the following facts :

- Applications usage and their response.
- Uptime is maintained at all times even when a e-commerce applications is taking place.
- Loss in case of application failure.
- Apllication setup need mainenance.
- Maintenance and upgrades take place without any application downtime.
- Additional maintenance and training cost.
- Unification of Applications and resources.
- Increase availability in failures or downtime.
- Enhance Scalibility.
- Share load accross multiple servers.
- Clusters are basic of two type : Asymmetric Clusters and Symmetric Clusters
- Asymmetric Clusters refers to server exists to take over another server in case of any failure. It is efficient for availability and scalability for databases, files and services. In case, one of the servers are down, the other server takes place of the first server node. One of the terms refers to failover cluster.
- Symmetric Clusters, in this every server performance the same task. In this case, every server is the main server for applications. In case, one of them fail, the remaining servers continue to process applications. When it comes to cost, cluster resources are used. However, the only problem with it is in case of failure, additional load on other server could fail them.
- Load Management with Server Clusters
- Avoid Interruption of Services
- Increase in Flexibility.
- Complex Infrastructure in more number of servers are not easy to manage.
- Code Changes to function with all the servers.
- Applicaton limitations are not supported on Server Clusters.
