Agenda
18:30 Welcome and Intros
18:45: Allan Hirt - Using Distributed Availability Groups for Disaster Recovery and Migrations
Have you ever wanted to migrate using AGs but found it difficult and went back to log shipping or other methods?
Do you ever get the request to be able to switch from one data center to another at will?
If you can relate to these questions, join this session to hear and see how distributed AGs can enhance your migrations, upgrades, and disaster recovery strategies.
If you want to up your HA/DR game, register today.

Boston-based Cloud and Data Center and Data Plaform Dual MVP Allan Hirt has been working with SQL Server since 1992 and clustering in Windows Server since the days just after Wolfpack. He got his start with databases as an intern at SQL Solutions, which then got purchased by Sybase where he remained an intern until the end of college. Allan has used every version of SQL Server that Microsoft has released for Windows. He founded his own company, Megahirtz, in 2007 and is now partners with Max Myrick in SQLHA.
Allan travels all over the world to provide consulting, training, and other services to customers of all sizes. While a good portion of time is focused on high availability and disaster recovery related topics, he also does quite a bit of work in most of the IT-related infrastructure topics for SQL Server such as consolidation, virtualization, disk configuration, administration and operations, and more.
You will often find Allan speaking at local user groups, SQL Saturdays, and various conferences like PASS Summit, SQLBits, and TechEd as well as doing various webcasts during the years. He has authored quite a bit of content over the years including articles for SQL Server Magazine and whitepapers for Microsoft that are up on TechNet and MSDN. He is the author or co-author of a quite a few books, and is working on his latest, Mission Critical SQL Server due soon.
