Abstract
Geared towards Credit Union professionals, but applicable to anyone running SQL Server.
In this LinkedIn live event, Straight Path’s Mike Walsh will ask “Are your SQL servers actually healthy?” We’ll dive into how to start checking that for yourself and cover 6 things every IT team can start checking today to prevent security, data loss, and compliance risk in their organizations.
In the months following this intro where Mike will start talking about how you can run your own health check process and introduces you to the concept behind the free community SP_Check* tools at Straight Path, Jeff Iannucci will join Mike for follow-on events in September, October, and November:
- Are your SQL Servers actually Secure?
- Are your SQL server databases actually recoverable?
- Are your SQL Servers actually setup properly?
Registration links and details for those follow-on events to follow.
Who Should Attend
This is perfect for leaders in IT organizations curious about the safety and setup of their SQL Servers. While we will talk a bit about our experience with our Credit Union clients, Straight Path serves clients in a number of verticals – and the lessons all apply across the board. So if you use SQL Server, don’t really have a DBA team and want to know how to start finding out if your SQL Servers are healthy, secure, reliable, recoverable and performant – come to this event and stay tuned for the follow-on events.
You’ll walk away with some tools and tricks to check the health any safety of your own SQL Servers with our free tools downloadable without any cost to you (not even your e-mail and a gate – SP_Check tools are already freely available on our github.)
