title: Mirroring and Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012
body: <p>I've been looking at the new features of SQL Server 2012, and how it can help my current situation.</p>
  
  <p>Currently we're on SQL Server 2008R2, and replicate two OLTP database servers to a single reporting server via transactional replication. We then use these replicated DBs for reporting.</p>
  
  <p>I'm interested in whether SQL Server 2012 and the Availability Groups can replace this - So instead of transactional replication, I'd use the new availability groups and mirror the two OLTP servers to the replication server - Where the reporting will be able to access the read-only copies.</p>
  
  <p>I'm unsure if this will work well, or even at all. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any good examples or experience with this?</p>
