Event Details
This session will be a test run of the "Storage and Virtualization for the DBA" pre-con which I'll be giving at the SQL PASS Summit in Seattle this November.
One of the biggest issues in database performance is around storage. It’s also one of the hardest places to troubleshoot performance issues because storage engineers and database administrators often do not speak the same language. In this session, we’ll be looking at storage from both the database and storage perspectives. We’ll be digging into LUNs, HBAs, the fabric, as well as the storage configuration.
As this is a pre-con session we'll be able to really dig into some advanced storage configurations. This includes RAID groups, multi-pathing software, proper redundant storage network design. We will also be digging into some advanced storage array backup techniques including taking storage level clones and snapshots. After going over these advanced techniques we will dig into how these can best be used to backup the SQL Server enviroment to provide maximum redundancy with no recurring tape costs.
This is a free event, and a box lunch will be provided thanks to the generous support of Emulex, Quest Software, Red Gate and Microsoft.
You will need to pay for parking at the building so please keep this in mind.
Stay through the end of the event, fill out an event survey and be entered to win one of our great prizes.
