I’m pleased to announce that I will be presenting a new session entitled “SQL Server Storage Performance Tuning” to the PASS MN SQL Server Users Group on September 21, 2021 at 4pm Central time.  RSVP for this event here and I look forward to seeing you there!

Abstract: Have you ever wondered why the storage administrators say nothing is wrong with the SAN when you are seeing thousands of long I/O alerts every day? They’re not lying to you! The SQL Server storage engine is just one of many components to the database storage stack. Come learn how to measure and manage storage performance at and underneath your SQL Server databases, including identifying the layers, measuring key storage performance metrics at each layer, and learning techniques for how to more properly distribute your database demand so you can squeeze the most performance out of your SQL Server storage.
