As we get closer to launch – we have started locking down the sessions that we will have at launch. There are going to be 3 technical tracks at launch along with 1 track for IT Manager. For the 3 technical tracks, we will have 1 for Data Platform, 1 for Infrastructure and1 for developers. Within the data platform track – we will have 4 sessions focused on SQL Server and accompanying technologies.<\/p>\n

1. Run Mission Critical Applications on SQL Server 2008 <\/p>\n

Covers all the core capabilities of the database engine, including scale, performance, HA and security<\/p>\n

2. SQL Server 2008 BI platform<\/p>\n

Covers the breadth of our BI platform including Integration Services, Analysis Services and Reporting Services<\/p>\n

3. Manage SQL Server 2008<\/p>\n

Covers all our manageability improvements in the platform and tools<\/p>\n

4. Build and deploy data applications<\/p>\n

Covers the breadth of developer improvements from our beyond relational investments of spatial and Filestream, sync services, T-SQL improvements and finally our entity framework and ADO.NET Data Services.<\/p>\n

These 4 sessions will also be replicated throughout the globe in over 250 events. For the main global event at LA – we are planning on having a great set of speakers – more info to follow \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For info on the global launch – go here<\/a><\/p>\n

Our entire launch will also be virtual here<\/a><\/p>\n

For info on registering for the event – here<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking forward to a great SQL Server 2008 launch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
