Virtualizing SQL 2012 : Doing It Right
Date and Time: 03/09/13, TBD
Speaker(s): Michael Corey
Click Here To Learn More About SQLSaturday#203
A SQL Server database is a resource intensive application, and thus requires attention to its implementation on a vSphere platform. Attend this technical session to learn how to properly virtualize SQL Server on a vSphere platform. We will discuss how to migrate existing SQL Server databases onto a vSphere platform, how to properly determine resource requirements for a virtualized SQL Server implementation, and how to manage and monitor those resources.
Reporting Services For Mere DBA's
Date and Time: 03/09/13, TBD
Speaker(s): Jason Brimhall
Click Here To Learn More About SQLSaturday#203
As a DBA in the modern era, you may be required from time to time to do something outside of your comfort zone. One of these things may be to become quickly acquainted with SSRS. Even better is that you may be required to do things you have not considered in a standard report. In this session, you will learn how to implement a framework to help provide a common ground for your reports. This session will delve into fun topics such as dynamic grouping and dynamic sorting. We are not talking about the interactive sorting that your accountant may use. Attendees will also be introduced to a few quick methods of exporting Reports from the report server - this is from a DBA perspective after-all!
SQL 2012 Extended Events
Date and Time: 03/09/13, TBD

SQL 2012 Table Compression
Date and Time: 03/09/13, TBD
Speaker(s): Jason Brimhall
Click Here To Learn More About SQLSaturday#203
SQL Server 2008 has introduced Table compression to the DBA toolkit. We all know there are different kinds of compression available in SQL Server. What some may not know is the subtleties of compression. Such subtleties include that not all Page Compressed tables are entirely page compressed. This session will show you how to reach into the database and discover compression states at the page level. At the lower level, this session will also show how to determine compression settings of objects in the database. Participants will be able to use undocumented commands as well as commands such as PIVOT to derive some interesting information from the database engine.

Virtializing Oracle: Doing IT Right, Session #161
Speakers: Michael J Corey Ntirety Founder & CEO, Don Sullivan VMware
A database is a very resource intensive by its very nature and one of the most resource intensive applications you will ever virtualize.

Trends in Database Administration and how it is transforming the DBA, Session #162
Speakers: Michael J Corey Ntirety Founder & CEO, Don Sullivan VMware
Date: Monday April 8, 2013 1:15 pm -2:15 pm
Databases keep getting bigger and bigger. Business applications that utilize ever-growing databases are expanding at an alarming rate. To stay competitive, businesses require additional functionality, and the technology needed to make that functionality possible keeps getting more complex. To make matters worse, the DBAs needed to keep it all running are hard to find and retain. Good DBA skills take years to acquire, and how the role of the DBA is transforming in ways that will take the DBA away from their traditional roots and responsibilities. How the DBA of the future will see its role expanding beyond the traditional barriers that have existed for years.

Too often, channel events focus only on the channel and ignore the most important aspect of our profession, the end user customer. Attend this session and walk away equipped with keen insight that will help you better meet the needs of your customers. Session Highlights: • End User perspectives on selecting MSPs • Cloud decisions; private vs public • Why do end users leave their MSPs? • How can MSPs be more transparent when dealing with more educated customers?
