Title: Fairfield / Westchester SQL Server User Group - Linchi Shea - Effective Database Administration with a Central Repository
Description:
Many database administrative tasks, such as monitoring, capacity planning, policy enforcement, best practice checking, are essentially the same across all the databases and the servers. Many more tasks are at an aggregate level, requiring data from individual databases across your enterprise. They include various reporting tasks, and investigative tasks that may require you to check all or a subset of your databases or servers across the enterprise.
Having a central repository of your databases and servers is absolutely necessary for you to accomplish these tasks in a professional manner. This presentation discusses what you should have in such a repository, how you may pull data together into the repository and keep it up to date, and what problems and tasks you can effectively manage with such a repository.
Linchi Shea has been working with SQL Server since version 4.21a. He works in the financial services sector in and around New York City. Linchi is passionate about creating robust and automated infrastructures for managing SQL Server in an enterprise environment, and enjoys troubleshooting performance issues. He has written many tools and utilities to simplify deploying, operating, testing, and troubleshooting SQL Server. You can find him blogging about SQL Server enterprise issues at www.sqlblog.com. Linchi is a co-founder and co-lead of the NYC SQL Server users group, and has been a Microsoft MVP since 2002.

Title: Introduction to Analysis services: OR How to do everything wrong and Still provide business value.
Description:
Topic:
This presentation will introduce Analysis Services using a real life business case and an honest exposition of how to get through the learning curve with SQL Analysis Services. Along the way we will derive a fairly complete list of worst practices for Analysis Services development. Armed with the list of worst practices and the insight gained from the live examples, attendees will have a much better idea of how, and how not, to use Analysis Services. They will also probably have a new insight for times they may be able to use Analysis Services that they may not have thought of previously.
Speaker:
Stuart Johnson's background has been in developing and delivering high quality software systems for many years. With a particular interest in the general area of business intelligence, his daily work, of course, is constantly in other areas of sofware system development. However he continues to educate himself on the high end products in the hope that someday business intelligence won't be an oxymoron.
