EMC @ SQL PASS Summit
We will have something kinda special at the SQL PASS Summit. Can’t say more.
But what I can say…
- Large booth area in the Pavillion, with SQL Experts from EMC including two heros from our team, Tony Wu and Bruce Ye, travelling all the way from Shanghai.
- Demos, booths, best practices and most importantly application-led conversations around;
- SQL Server scalability – Infrastructure
- Optimized Data Protection
- High availability to where? Same SAN? Same site? next door? next state? next country? – All of the above <—
- Something Flashy
- Proven Solutions around high-speed SQL deployments, one of which is in build right now with Michael and David in our Cork labs.
Hope to see you there.
James.
