How to Size Storage for SQL

Storage Sizing isn't just about space: It's about latency and throughput!

When you move to new hardware or the cloud, and when you try to consolidate SQL Servers, you can't just add up the database sizes and call it a day. Storage sizing isn't just about space: it's about latency and throughput. So how can we look at an existing SQL Server and translate that into requirements?

In this one-hour session, Brent Ozar will show you how to measure your existing workloads, predict how multiple databases will interact when they're consolidated, and use all this to gauge what kind of storage you'll need in your next server.

In this session he will take into consideration:

• Database consolidation
• Data warehousing scenarios
• Backups
• Checkdb as well as other throughput intensive workloads
