Title: 10 Things all BI System Administrators Should Know
Description:

Conversations about SQL Server administration tends to be all about administering OLTP systems. If you administer BI systems, you can’t apply everything you know about administering OLTP systems to BI systems. BI systems usually end up being administered by OLTP DBAs or by BI developers and architects. Where does one even find a BI Administrator?

Fortunately, I’ve been administering BI systems for many years, and I have learned the hard way the difference between administering OLTP and BI systems. This session will cover the top 10 things that I think an administrator of BI systems needs to know.

Title: Implementing Contained Databases
Description:

Contained Databases is a new feature introduced in SQL Server 2012. We will take a look at the security implications of contained databases and why it considered only “partially” contained. This technical dive into the feature will demonstrate how to implement contained databases, how to migrate a contained database, and what “gotchas” to be aware of.
