The Virtualization Virtual Chapter (aka SIG) is dedicated to better management of SQL Servers in virtual environments like Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere.  We:

• Help the community by producing things like monthly training webcasts, a centralized list of helpful virtualization-savvy administrators, and a periodic report of what works well under virtualization and what isn't quite working yet.

• Help virtualization vendors by getting training and configuration information out to the people who need it, and helping the vendors build a better product with our feedback.

• Help PASS management by building assets that PASS can leverage (like a library of training content) and showing that PASS solves real DBA problems.

Many of the metrics used to monitor performance on SQL Server are completely unaffected by whether or not you’re running on a virtual machine. Some of those metrics are seriously impacted. Knowing which metrics are impacted and, more importantly, why, is the purpose of this session. We’ll spend time outlining what you can monitor normally in SQL Server, and we’ll show what parts of monitoring require you to do things differently because of the nature of virtual servers. You will be able to gather meaningful metrics from your own systems using the information presented in this session.

 

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
