Tonight, June 22, at 6:30 PM EDT I'm presenting Paging DR Availability, You're Wanted In The Recovery Room for the South Florida SQL Server User Group. This is one of my sessions selected for the 2011 PASS Summit in Seattle so by watching you'll get a preview of what you can expect to see if you go to the Summit this fall.

This will be an online presentation via LiveMeeting so you can join in even if you're not in the South Florida area. You can RSVP to attend here, or just join the LiveMeeting directly at 6:30 PM.

Here's what I'll be covering:

Paging DR Availability, You're Wanted In The Recovery Room

There are a lot of options when it comes to disaster recovery and high availability with regards to SQL Server. Most business owners (and many DBA's) lump disaster recovery (DR) & high availability (HA) together and while they do share some pieces, they call for different strategies. Do you pick one or more than one of these options, and what criteria do you use to make the choice? It’s incredibly important that you understand the decision tree that helps you pick the right options(s) for your business and that you can explain the choices clearly to the stakeholders. It’s not as complicated as it sounds, but it is complicated. This presentation will give you a high level understanding of the options, the costs, complexities, & reasons for using each of them.
