 Feature Presentation

For Better or For Worse, Can SharePoint and SQL Server Find Wedded Bliss?


Presenters: John Ferringer - Sogeti
Date: June 18th, 2013

One of the first things an IT Pro learns when they tackle SharePoint is how tightly coupled SharePoint is to SQL Server; it can’t function without it. And one of the hardest lessons a DBA can learn when encountering SharePoint is that SharePoint cannot be managed like a common SQL Server database, or even like databases for many other platforms.

This session will introduce SQL Server administrators and operators to how SharePoint interacts with SQL Server, outline some of the common gotchas and pitfalls that can crop up when managing a SQL Server instance that contains SharePoint databases, and provide recommendations on how to successfully manage SharePoint’s databases in SQL Server.

John is a SharePoint IT Professional with over eight years of experience administering and supporting SharePoint technologies and has spent over fourteen years working in the information technology consulting industry. As a Senior Manager Consultant with Sogeti, John is the Infrastructure Service Practice Manager for Sogeti's East Region. He has worked with Microsoft Online Services (MSO) since 2008 and is a Microsoft Delta Force Ranger for Office 365. John co-authored the "SharePoint 2010 Disaster Recovery Guide" in September, 2010 (http://tinyurl.com/SPDR2010book) and the “SharePoint 2007 Disaster Recovery Guide” in January, 2009 (http://www.tinyurl.com/SPDRbook). He is a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) and a Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) for several Microsoft server products and platforms, including SharePoint 2007, 2010 and 2013, System Center Operations Manager 2007, and Hyper-V Server.
