Sanbolic Webinar: SQL Server Virtualization with Sanbolic Melio 
Virtualization provides a tool for consolidating and simplifying SQL Server environments by providing the ability to run multiple SQL Servers on a physical machine. However, virtualizing the SQL instances 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 consequently limit the ability to realize the full benefit of virtualization, consolidation and improved utilization, especially in environments where the workloads may be variable and unpredictable.  In this webinar, learn how Sanbolic Melio software extends the benefits of server virtualization to the storage layer, and in doing so simplifies storage management, improves database availability, and streamlines the task of distributing workloads across the SQL server resource pool.
