Without a doubt performance is the database professional’s number one concern when it comes to virtualizing SQL Server. While virtualizing SQL Server is nothing new, even today some people still think that SQL Server is too resource intensive to virtualize. That’s definitely not the case. In this webcast you’ll learn about some of the best practices for virtualizing SQL Server to obtain the maximum virtualized database performance. Some of the essential SQL Server performance virtualization techniques include:

  • Maximizing host and guest scalability
  • Hardware recommendations
  • Storage configuration best practices
  • Using VM dynamic memory
  • Best use of SSDs
  • Using the SQL Server 2014 In-Memory OLTP engine
  • Maximizing network performance with NIC Teaming, QoS, and SR-IOV
  • Flexile deployment with Software Defined Networking (SDN)
