1 queezing op Performance from your Virtualized QL erver David lee, Group Principal and Practice Lead I-380 P, December You know us individually, but do you know Linchpin People? Linchpin People are database coaches and wellness experts for the Microsoft QL erver Ecosystem. Our team includes more than 15 of the world s top QL erver experts, and we have presented over 175 combined sessions at QL aturdays, P ummit, and other events in the past year. Do you have specific questions about your database environment? Check out and take a look at the range of services we provide, or contact one of us today to learn how we can help improve your business. 2 1

3 Virtualization What Is It? Why hould DBs Care? 5 What is Virtualization? dded layer between hardware and operating system Hardware treated as physical resource queues Extension of the hardware, so is treated as part of the platform Not just P2Ving a single server Most DB s virtualization experience Virtualization layer is transparent to performance Expect at least equivalent raw performance (when done right) 6 3
