May 17th NJSQL UG Meeting - SQL Server 2008 Database mirroring with MAK

Date: Tuesday, May 17th

Topic: SQL Server 2008 Database mirroring - A high availability for SQL Server database

If you're in the NY/NJ/PA area, tonight the NJSQL User Group, run by Melissa Demsak (aka SQLDiva|Twitter), is hosting the MAK.  I am making mention of local events in the Tri-state area, (more events to follow) and hope to convince Melissa, next time to webcast what's sure to be an awesome presentation.  Here is the information below.

Mirroring is cost-effective, fast and requires no additional hardware to have availability for a database. This presentation is going to illustrate how to mirror database from principal to the mirrored servers. This presentation is also going to illustrate how to monitor the mirrored database and notify if there is any failure or delay. This presentation will also touch base with the concept of log stream compression available in SQL Server 2008..
