Session Abstract:
Infrastructure for the Data Professional: An Introduction

It doesn’t matter if you are a DBA, application developer, database developer, or BI pro the infrastructure your SQL Server environment runs on is important. If you didn’t “grow-up” on the system administration side of IT or, perhaps, you have been out of the operations world long enough to have fallen out of the loop with what is happening. This session is intended to provide a full stack infrastructure overview so that you can talk shop with your cohorts in operations to resolve issues and maybe even be proactive. We will discuss, in an introductory fashion, hardware, network, storage, virtualization and operating system layers. Additionally, some suggestions as to where to find more information will be provided.
