Multi-Server Management with UCP, MDW, and PBM

Presenter: Chuck Heinzelman, Big Hammer Data

Session 19 (06:00 GMT on May 20)

Session Details

Many of us are managing multiple servers, with multiple instances and many databases. SQL Server provides some great tools for dealing with your installations, but much of the data that is generated is still distributed across your servers. If you have problems getting a comprehensive snapshot of your environment, this session is for you. Come see how to use system data collectors and user-defined data collectors to centralize all of that data onto your Utility Control Point and use that data to build dashboards.
