Can HP PolyServe support multiple instances residing on default port 1433?

0

Default SQL Server instances use the port 1433 for establishing client connections. So, without the HP PolyServe solution, only one default SQL Server instance can be running on an individual physical server at a time. The unique Instance Aliasing Tool provided by the HP PolyServe solution allows multiple, distinct ‘default instances’ to be transparently mapped onto uniquely named instances even on an individual physical server. No other clustering technology can accomplish this since every other solution outside of the HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server requires a 1:1 ratio of default instances per physical server.
