It’s time to start looking deeper at the next release of SQL Server. As such, the September PASSMN meeting will be focused on some of the new features that will be part of the SQL Server Code Named “Denali”. To bring this to us, we have our local Microsoft contact Ajay Nangia. We’ll be presenting the following:
Introduction to Denali AlwaysOn and Column Store Technologies
The session will talk about the new High Availability and Disaster Recovery solution being introduced in SQL Server “Denali”. It will provide an overview about the new features and capabilities such as utilization of secondary databases for a better return on hardware investment and how to simplify HADR deployments. It will also introduce the new column-based accelerator for vast improvements in query performance.
