I love learning about and mastering SQL Server. And I love sharing what I've learned. To that end, I really
enjoy speaking and presenting.

Virtualization: Get the Facts
In the Virtualization: Get the Facts online event,
I'll be speaking about the best ways to virtualize IO intensive workloads
such as SQL Server.
Session Abstract:
Virtualization provides numerous benefits in terms
of server consolidation, reduced management costs,
and increased efficiency. But how well does virtualization stack-up when it comes to IO intensive
workloads? Learn about options and approaches to virtualizing SQL Server along with best practices
that will help you evaluate and optimize virtualization benefits for IO intensive workloads
within your own environment.
Virtualization Essentials
Virtualization is a topic that I'm very familiar with and which I've covered in various venues, so
speaking about it during an hour-long webinar was a great experience to help extol some of the benefits
while covering some of the various different implementations, types, and strategies available to businesses
today.
Longhorn Server Roadshow
In addition to SQL Server, I'm also very passionate about web development and therefore really enjoyed a
multi-city
roadshow, or tour, touting some of the inherant benefits of Windows Server 2008 in terms of the benefits that it brought
to IIS, small offices, and overall performance overhead.
