Topic: Highly Available SQL Server Upgrade Assault Tactics
Abstract:
In this debriefing, we will look at various methods to minimize downtime during major version upgrades. This will include upgrading from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 and SQL 2008 as well as SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008. We will cover key planning and testing skills that can cut substantial time off the upgrade and minimize problems after the upgrade. We will also cover the technologies that you can add to your arsenal when planning an HA upgrade assault. All hands on deck as we do battle against upgrade downtime.
