As DBAs, we often concentrate on optimizing individual servers by performance tuning the top queries or optimizing the indexing strategies. However, when addressing an enterprise SQL Server environment with multiple instances, thousands of databases support different application workloads, how do we identify and prioritize tasks for the greatest impact and value to the environment, not just the server? Embracing a holistic optimization approach is crucial, as it can result in exponential reductions in licensing costs, enhanced resource utilization, and considerable improvements in overall health, performance, and capacity across the enterprise.
In this session, we will guide you through assessing the health of your SQL environment from an enterprise perspective. We'll review how to analyze, prioritize, and execute the findings, as well as identifying key metrics to demonstrate the far-reaching impact and value of your actions. We will provide guidance on how to sell the recommendations to your management so you can continue to make progress. By shifting the focus from individual servers to the entire enterprise, you'll unlock greater benefits and drive your organization towards a more efficient and optimized SQL Server environment.
