On Wednesday, October 26 at 11am PST, SSWUG will running my webcast Build Your Own SQL Server Cloud presentation.
This presentation focuses on building a private cloud using Windows 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008, but the concepts that I discuss can be applied to any virtualization platform. This presentation covers what is a private cloud (as well as what is a cloud) and how to achieve the benefits of cloud technologies using the builtin-features of SQL Server. I will also discuss some of the challenges I have encountered building my own cloud.
This week I have started designing the next generation SQL Server private cloud for SQL Server 2012 and this is a topic I will be blogging about more over the upcoming year.
I really excited about this webcast and look forward to talking to attendees about their ideas about the private cloud.
