How Healthy is my SQL Server Enterprise webcast has been archived

I’m happy to say that the webcast which I did with Jason Hall on Thursday October 30, 2008 has been archived for after the fact viewing. They say that it is up there for a limited time, so I’m not sure how long it will actually be available for.

You can find the webcast over in Quest Software’s Events section.

Don’t Consolidate Yourself Into Performance Problems - Archive

The webcast which I did for Quest Software called Don’t Consolidate Yourself Into Performance Problems is now available for viewing after the fact.

This is the webcast which I did last week for Quest Software.  It you had signed up for the session Quest should have sent you an email with this URL already.

 Thanks,

Don’t Consolidate Yourself Into Performance Problems

Consolidated too many databases or too many instances onto a single server?  Got users screaming for their own servers back?

Join myself and David Swanson from Quest Software (and frequent poster on SQLServerPedia.com) as we show you how to identify problematic applications so that they don’t take down all of the other applications on the server at the webcast “Don’t Consolidate Yourself Into Performance Problems“. Attend this webcast to save your consolidation project and to keep your users happy.

The webcast will be on Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 8 a.m. Pacific / 11 a.m. Eastern / 4 p.m. United Kingdom / 5 p.m. Central Europe.  After the presentation there will be a Q&A session where David and I will answer as many questions as possible.

Webcast turnout was fantastic

Thanks to all who attended this morning webcast ‘Under The Hood of SQL Server - Checking Out Internals’.  This mornings webcast was a complete success.  The number of people attending was fantastic, and some excellent questions were asked.  If I remember correctly there were about 140 people in attendance.  For those who weren’t able to attend the webcast this morning, it was recorded and as soon as it’s published I’ll post the link to the video.

If you have a question specific to the webcast please email my good friend Andy Grant with your questions and he will route them to myself or Jason Hall.

Don’t forget to check out the tech brief which we were talking about.

New Paper Published: Picking the Right Instrument for SQL Server Performance Management

The folks at Quest Software asked me to write a paper for them discussing the differences between managing a SQL Server using just the Microsoft provided tools and their Spotlight on SQL Server Enterprise product.  That paper has just been released and can be downloaded here.  We’ll also be discussing this paper (among other things) at a web cast Thursday 2/7/2008 at 8am which you can read about here and here.
