Therefore you would need a decent recovery plan, whether that be a pre-configured express install elsewhere in readiness for the latest backup to be restored or a means to bring the server back online. The main disadvantage would be if you 'lost' that server then all your apps/services would be unavailable. The advantages of having all your application specific type databases in one place are simplified management, backup, recovery. SQL Server Standard pricing is very good and practically eliminates any hardware limitations based on usage of available CPU's, memory etc. You are more likely to hit an issue with the 1Gb of RAM.

If you can I would go for a single SQL Instance, obviously SQL Express is free but is limited to the lesser of 1 CPU socket or 4 Cores, if you install it on a 4 core machine that is not doing much else this is unlikely to be your bottleneck unless you are running something fairly intensive on there. At least I read it as a single Express Installation vs multiple application specific SQL Lite/MSDE type installs. What I meant to as was: Should I have multiple SQL express instances on multiple servers, or have one dedicated SQL server? I just realized I was incorrect in how I worded the question. If you don't have a justified need for a separate instance, almost always the administrative overhead of maintaining multiple instances is more significant than any benefits that would arise from doing so. A single instance provides a fully shared memory pool. If you have two instances, then each instance will want its own memory pool, and depending on the database needs, those two memory pools could be competing for resources, and even starving one of the databases. Those options can also be a reason for NOT configuring a separate instance, the most notable being memory management.

I have set this up in both the 32 and 64 bit configuration

On the SQL Server I have created an alias using the SQL Server Configuration Manager: The network team has set up an extra DNS A record ("programDB") to point to the server. We'd prefer to go with option 2 as it means we don't need to setup any more hardware, but I can't get it to work.

Both instances are accepting connections on 1433 & Live is the default instance (1433 set in the ListenAll port). As you can see there is nothing in 'Instance Features. When running this file, I got the 'Feature Selection' Screen (see below). The filename is SQLManagementStudiox86ENU.exe (about 614 Mb). I downloaded the installation files on the Microsoft Website. We have a Windows Server 2012 server running with 2 instances of SQL Server 2012 installed on it - Live and System. I try to install SQL Server 2012 Express on my personal computer (fresh install of Win 8).
