Don't Let Virtualization Spoil Your SQL Server Environment - Sanbolic to Explain How to Overcome Common SQL Server Virtualization Obstacles

WALTHAM, Mass., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Wednesday, May 9, 11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Eastern Time
Sanbolic Webinar: SQL Server Virtualization with Sanbolic Melio
Virtualization provides a tool for consolidating SQL Server environments, by enabling multiple SQL Servers to run on a physical machine.  However, it does not address the complexity in provisioning, protecting, and managing performance and utilization of the storage resources where the databases reside.  Physical deployments need to be managed separately from the virtualized SQL instances, and limit the ability to realize the full benefit of virtualization (i.e., consolidation and improved utilization) especially in environments where the workloads may be variable and unpredictable.  In this webinar, learn how Sanbolic Melio Enterprise consolidates, protects and eases the management of physical and virtual SQL workloads, lowers overall costs, and enables a more agile, efficient and scalable shared cluster of critical SQL database instances. 

Wednesday, May 9 – Friday, May 11
Sanbolic Tradeshow Appearance:  Citrix Synergy 2012 (San Francisco, CA)
Sanbolic Booth Number: 711
Sanbolic will showcase its award winning Melio software suite at Citrix Synergy 2012.  Attendees will have the opportunity to see firsthand why Sanbolic Melio is truly the critical link between a storage infrastructure and a successful Citrix XenDesktop VDI implementation.  During the live demonstrations, Sanbolic will show how its Melio host-based, data management solution augments an existing storage infrastructure to enable a complete enterprise-class VDI environment in less time, with less effort, and lower upfront costs than previously possible.

Sanbolic Webinar: VDI – From Pilot to Production at Enterprise Scale
This webinar will discuss how to deploy a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) pilot based on Citrix XenDesktop quickly and easily with lower upfront (CapEx) and ongoing (OpEx) costs, as well as how to transition seamlessly from pilot to production while introducing the ability to scale the infrastructure dynamically to achieve the greatest return on a VDI investment.  Attendees will learn how to combine the unique and extensive capabilities of Sanbolic's Melio with Provisioning Services (PVS), a core component of XenDesktop, to simplify desktop image and storage management, protect desktop images, improve solution performance and implement active/active or DR configurations between geographically dispersed sites.  If you're looking to realize the benefits of VDI on the greatest possible scale without exhausting your resources (time, effort and money), don't miss this webinar!

Wednesday, May 23, 11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Eastern Time
Sanbolic Webinar: SQL Server Consolidation with Sanbolic Melio
SQL Server workloads, both physical and virtual, have become increasingly prevalent in enterprise IT infrastructure.  And, while server virtualization can help to consolidate SQL instances onto fewer physical machines, users have not seen a commensurate reduction in overall costs, due to the complexity and management burden of supporting the resulting storage infrastructure.  The reality is that SQL consolidation can actually create more problems than it solves.  In this webinar, learn how Sanbolic Melio eliminates these and other SQL Server environment challenges, as well as specific tips on how to leverage it to enable central management, access and sharing, failover and migration, and load balancing of all SQL instances and data across the entire physical, virtual and cloud environment.
