How do you know if your SQL Server VM's are as fast as they could be? When a SQL VM is "slow", is it the database or the way the VM is built? What should we do differently when we build a virtual SQL server? If you've asked – or been asked – questions like these, allow us to share our 12 years' experience in designing virtual infrastructure for mission-critical applications & databases.

Presentation topics include:

  • What makes a virtual database server different than a physical one
  • Properly sizing a SQL VM: Bigger is not better
  • Tuning a VM for transactional performance
  • Configuring storage queues
  • The metrics that matter, what they mean & how to spot bottlenecks
  • How to leverage virtualization for a better backup & DR strategy
