We just had a very good and interesting VMTN Podcast on virtualized MS SQL performance and best practices. One of the questions was about disk performance. Hemant Gaidhan talked about esxtop and how to discover possible performance issues, and specifically mentioned latency. I’ve never really looked into this section of esxtop and did a quick search and of course the [...]

But after being added to the SRM Lab and last minute Community Lounge there’s no way I can find the time to do some actual blogging, or even twitter these days. I’m not [...]
Now I want to see a full packed booth tomorrow at 13:00 – the Community Booth(next to the Dell Booth). So as a incentive we will give a free t-shirt to everyone that comes and drops a question to the Experts or even starts a discussion! If you’re scared to asks question just head over and vote for the best [...]
