Once upon a time, somewhere in a dark, lonely data center room an SQL Server stopped talking. Nothing about it in monitoring system, except - connection lost. Ping, Telnet, Remote Login doesn't work. In the same time somewhere in the City one of the millions mobiles can't stop ringing and ringing. It's Your phone and You are DBA. It's 2AM and Disaster just began... In this session I want to discuss about best practices for surviving disaster, based on my experience in few years in data center. We will talk about more aspects which You probably know, and some about You have never think before THIS day - TheDisaster Day. I presented this session as Lightning Talks in Liverpool. Now is the time for full session.
