Ben DeBow from SQLHA is Presenting:

Surviving Your Peak Database Load
Each application and system is different, but all have a similar quality: there will be times where the systems are used more, and other times where they may appear to be sleeping. Good examples are monthly, quarterly, and yearly for financial systems and the holiday season for retail. The last thing you want to have in these timeframes is your CxO standing at your desk wondering why things are slow or possibly down. Ensuring that your SQL Servers are optimally configured for those heavy usage periods cannot be done with a wing and a prayer – you need an actionable, realistic plan. This session will discuss how to guarantee that your SQL Server instances and the configurations they use are as scalable and reliable as possible.

Most database professionals know (from firsthand experience) that there continues to be a "data explosion". Databases are getting larger, and working with Very Large DataBases (VLDB's) is becoming more commonplace. The focus of this session is to identify some key guidelines for the design, management, and ongoing optimization of VLDB's.
Special attention will be paid to the following areas:
* query design
