leaders who are passionate about sharing their real-world knowledge of

Microsoft products with their IT Pro, developer and consumer communities around

the world.

The theme of this first conference is “The Power of

thrive and grow, and demonstrate how Microsoft’s MVPs shape these technical

communities.

My session

will bring to you HealthySQL III, which will answer questions: Are

your SQL Servers Healthy? Are all the SQL Servers you manage, healthy running

optimally and has the high availability that is expected? How do you know for

sure? Have you checked on the health of your SQL Servers lately? What is a

Health Check, and how do we perform one? If you are a DBA, then you ought to

know! Well Pearl Knows. Robert Pearl talks about the importance of regular

health checks of your SQL Server(s). We will talk about the need to create a

baseline and provide some time-tested ways to determine if your SQL Servers are

healthy and prove it to your managers, clients and heaven forbid, your IT

auditors. Using various tools and scripts, and native SQL Server features, you

will come out of this session feeling much better.
