For the final post in this series, I want to list a few resources that you can use to help stay current with what is happening in the world of server hardware and storage. I really think that a database professional has a professional responsibility to know the details of their database server hardware and storage subsystem, especially for their most important database servers.<\/p>\n

Many DBAs do not know much about hardware and storage, while many server and storage administrators don\u2019t know much about SQL Server and the demands that it places on hardware for different types of workloads. Becoming educated and staying up to date is not that difficult, and it will make you a better DBA.<\/p>\n
