Description |
---|
Predictable failure prevention requires organizational planning to address system failure issues. If components key to maintaining system security fail to function, then SQL Server could continue operating in an insecure state. The organization must be prepared, and SQL Server and applications using SQL Server's databases must be configured to send an alarm for such conditions and/or automatically shut down SQL Server. If appropriate actions are not taken when application component failures occur, a denial of service condition may occur. |
