Introduction to MSSQL Management Data Warehouse (MDW) presentation

Last night I presented an intro to SQL Server 2008’s MDW to the fwPASS Professional Association. The subject is primarily of interest to DBA’s rather than Developers since it is best leveraged by monitoring and managing an environment of multiple SQL Servers.

Fort Wayne SQL Server Presentation - Performance Monitoring and Baselining

Click here to download my FWPass presentation from November 25, 2008. The meeting was held upstairs at the Pint and Slice in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. The meeting format was a little different because someone apparently walked off with their VGA cable for the overhead projector. The backup plan was to use the big flat panel display, but my laptop didn't have S-Video output. In leiu of everyone peering over my shoulder at the laptop display, we just discussed the material. The atmosphere and food were great. It was a small informal group of six or seven, but it was still fun.
