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.

Want to speak at our next event?

  We're looking for database administrators who can talk about how virtualization has worked for them, what they've learned, and any tips they can pass on.  It can be as formal or informal as you like.  To volunteer, email Mark Swofford <mark@kymaga.com> and David Smithey <dsmithey@sqlsvrman.com>.
