Learn Advanced Data Performance Management

How much data can a DBA manage? According to a 2010 Forrester Research article, it’s around 5 TB of data. Since that article was written, the amount of data companies collect and store has exploded so I suspect the figure today is closer to 10 TB of data. Of course, that’s painting with broad strokes and different environments will have different levels of complexities. So, as usual, the answer is “It depends.” 

Still, with that much data to manage, how can one DBA be familiar with it all? How can she keep tabs on each server, on each database, on each transform package? She can’t. Not if she’s doing it manually.

Fortunately, the tools have gotten better over the past 8 years. SQL Server is more resilient and has more capabilities built in than ever before. Additionally, third parties, such as SentryOne and Redgate continue, to extend the database server’s native functionality.

In a RoadShow event, my close friend and renowned SQL Server expert Kevin Kline joins his fellow SQL Server MVP Andy Yun to discuss how you can proactively monitor your database servers. They will highlight how SentryOne can be leveraged to enhance what you’re already doing with the native tools.

The benefits of attending an in-person training event go far beyond the information presented. The contacts and connections made with other attendees and the presenters can be invaluable. Additionally, you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions specific to your environment. 

If you’ll be in the Middle Tennessee area on Thursday, October 11, 2018, I’d encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to learn from a couple of really smart SQL Server pros. If you’re not in Middle Tennessee, check their upcoming events.
