Topic:   Using SQLIO to Test Your Disk Subsystem

Disk performance is a key metric in Sql Server performance. Is your storage performing its best? How do you know? This session will review different methodologies for testing your disk subsystem. We'll use Microsoft's SQLIO tool to determine the I/O capacity of a given configuration. By understanding the maximum capabilities of your disks, you'll better understand the performance capacity of your storage subsystem. 

Please note, this will be an evening meeting at the Cerner Headquarters, drinks and food will be available.

We look forward to seeing you all soon!

Location:

The location is again at the Cerner headquarters this month, not Riverport.  This facility is only about 3 miles West of Riverport off of 210.  The new address is: 

The exterior doors will be locked, but the room we're in (Cowboy) is on the first floor just to the right of the front door.  If someone is not waiting at the door to let you in, you should be able to easily flag someone down in the room to open it for you.  If you can't find the building or can't get in for some reason, please give me a call.  816-607-1337
