The class guides the audience through all the necessary steps and considerations to successfully virtualize SQL Server instances. No matter how critical is the database is or how complex your database environment is, the virtualization is a way to optimize your infrastructure costs and to stay flexible. The flexibility and effectiveness are the great benefits of virtualization. But to achieve the goals you don’t need to compromise performance or availability. You need to do it right! This is all about the class is.
