RunAs Radio interview on FILESTREAM

This is the second of the two sessions I recently recorded with Richard and Greg on RunAs Radio (the first one on being an “involuntary DBA” is here). I’ve just finished the final edited version of a whitepaper for Microsoft on the FILESTREAM feature of SQL Server 2008 and this session goes into details of why you’d want to use it and how to setup a system for optimal FILESTREAM performance. The whitepaper should be available before PASS in November, in the meantime, checkout the show!

The show is 35 minutes long and you can download it at http://www.runasradio.com/default.aspx?showNum=74.

Enjoy!
