Hi All,
We have an in-house application which has grown very rapidly. It's running on
Standard Edition and we've been jumping through hoops to work around the
edition limitations (scripted standby, partition views, manually parallelizing
operations, maintenance outages etc.) but the business keep wanting to push
more transactions through and simultaneously demand less downtime for releases
/ maintenance.
I feel that at some point we need to bite the bullet and move to another
platform (presumably Enterprise Edition with partitioning, although it's just
possible another vendor altogether). The business naturally don't want to pay
the big uplift in licence costs and keep asking for more (and increasingly
complex) workarounds. I'm just looking to draw on other people's experiences
on when they determine they need to make the leap to Enterprise - what are the
critical factors? What made you say we just can't keep on Standard Edition
any more? (I know this is a woolly question but guess I'm just looking for
confirmation that we really are in that area).
Please note I'm just wanting to discuss WHEN/WHY we need to stop hacking fixes
and just do this, I'm NOT looking for people to try to sell me licences! :-)
Many thanks!Charlotte
