A Note
(or two)
on Virtualization
• General Description of Virtualization
• Reference Diagram (.vmc settings reference)

• Because you can “evaporate” all changes and go back to a baseline
virtualization is extremely useful
• Available free Virtualization Products
• Virtual PC 2007
• Virtual Server 2005 R2
• VMWare Server
• Virtualization Web References
• Using Differencing Disks in Virtual PC
• Setting up a 2-Node Windows Cluster Using Virtual Server 2005 R2

Server version, Katmai
• TechEd SQL Server 2008 Webcast (Last Link on the Page)
• Policy-Based Management as opposed to
Scripts-Based Management
• Transparent Encryption
• Separation of Date and Time data types
• Greater Visual Studio Integration
• LINQ (Lanuage-Integrated Query), Querying the
Database in a Developer’s own language without the need to know SQL
• “Store Any Type of Data”
• Lots of Business Intelligence Enhancements
57
Action Items:
• Upgrade to SQL Server 2005
• The Product Will Be 2 Years Old in November 2005
• Katmai Will Be Out (Supposedly) Next Year
• Take Training Courses to Properly Equip You for
the Job
• Strongly Consider Implementation of one of the
High Availability Features
• Increase Knowledge of Encryption Technology
• Increase Competency with Virtualization
