TechEd 2007 – I’ll be there

I’ll be at TechEd 2007 in Orlando next month doing a breakout session on SQL Server 2005 scaleout technologies, as well as a couple of chalktalks (on eventing and WMI and on Powershell and SMO) in the SQL Server area. Stop by and say hi.

And…if you’re thinking of going to a pre-conference talk, Kimberly Tripp and I will be delivering an information-packed day on Leveraging SQL Server Always-On Technologies to Acheive High-Availability and Scalability. I’ll be covering internals of some of the many scaleout solutions available with SQL Server 2005. We’ll also have some of our much-requesting SQL Server Always-On DVDs. Have a look at Kimberly’s blog entry for even more details. See you there.
