Life can teach you interesting lessons and push you beyond the boundary of what we call as a comfort zone. Recently I had a customer who was working on SQL server 2008 R2 and was enabling Mirroring. The very first thought was to recommend them to use AlwaysOn but that was not in their current scope because the application that they were working with was supported with SQL Server 2008 R2. The next thought for me was to understand what they were looking for as part of this consulting call. They incidentally wanted to enable Transparent Database Encryption (TDE) on their server and wanted me to guide on how to enable the same because the ISV had not done this before with a Database Mirroring configuration. So they were taking my help to understand how this needs to be systematically done with minimal downtime.
