Utilize SQL Server Storage Effectively

With the increased use of databases and the need to have more and more data online, database storage is an area DBAs need to manage effectively.

We will dive into the tools you can use to manage database storage, some of the latest trends, database design implications, data archiving and alternatives such as compression, BLOB data storage, filtered indexes and more. We’ll also introduce a tool that allows you to reduce the storage footprint of your live SQL Server databases.
