OTRS + CentOS + MSSQL

[mrt3385]

Hello,
Looking to get some thoughts...
We are getting ready to start an implementation of OTRS and we are thinking of using a linux front end and a MSSQL backend. This will be a customer-facing system.
We are mostly a Microsoft shop and want to take advantage of the always-on replication capabilities of MSSQL2012 (replicate DB to multiple sites, stand up 2nd OTRS as failover). My main concerns are performance and reliability; hoping this combination will net me the best of both worlds. Questions, comments, concerns?

Thanks in advance.
Trent

as there is no good working database driver for PERL and MS SQL you need to use ODBC. This is very slow.

SO I suggest not to use MS SQL
