Event Details

SQL Servers can run faster and more reliably under VMware vSphere 4, but they can also run craptastically.  You can't just use the defaults and expect databases to fly, but thankfully, it's not that hard to get high performance and uptime with just a few important tweaks.

In this four-hour session, production DBAs will learn why:

  • Virtual CPUs are different - and sometimes less is more
  • Virtual memory is different - and how to set SQL Server max memory under VMware
  • Virtual storage is different - and whether we should use VMDKs or raw LUNs
  • Virtual networking is different - and why we have to do our backups differently
  • VIrtual monitoring is different - and why Task Manager is a dirty, filthy liar

This session is for DBAs who are frustrated with slow or unpredictable SQL Server performance inside VMware, or DBAs who are about to embark on virtualizing their first SQL Server.
