I will be speaking at SQLSaturday #97 in Austin, TX on October 1st, 2011. I will be delivering my presentation on database mirroring.
I know the event team for this SQLSaturday and I can say without a doubt that it will be an event to be remembered. Wes Brown (Blog|Twitter), Jim Murphy (Blog|Twitter), and AJ Mendo (Blog|Twitter) are some top notch guys that are committed to the community. If you attend, make it a point to meet these guys and thank them for their hard work!
As with any SQLSaturday (especially the first one) there are some bumps along the road. These guys have handled those bumps with grace, dignity, and the upmost in professionalism. I know they could use any help they can get, so if your company can sponsor this event or you can volunteer to lend a hand, make sure to do so.
It is going to be a great event and there are limited spots left so make sure to Get Registered, and stop by my session. Here is the abstract:
Mirroring: The Bare Necessities
Remember Baloo the bear from the Jungle Book? Well we are going to get down to the “bear” necessities of mirroring and more. Mirroring can be an integral part of your high availability and disaster recovery planning. We’ll cover what mirroring is, how it can fit into an HA/DR plan, the rules surrounding its use, configuration via the GUI and T-SQL, as well as how to monitor mirroring. This presentation is designed to not only give you an overview of mirroring, but to also walk you through a basic implementation. At the end you will have learned what mirroring is, how it can fit into your environment, what business requirements it solves, and how to configure it.
