Optimizing SQL Server Performance in a Virtual Environment

In this session, we’ll consider some of the things you should be looking at in your virtual environment to ensure you are getting the performance you should, including how to find CPU performance issues at the host level. We will also be discussing memory balloon drivers, what they actually do, how you should be configuring them, and why. We’ll discuss some of the memory-sharing technologies that are built into VMware vSphere and Hyper-V and how they relate to SQL Server. We will finish up with some storage configuration options to look at.
