Webinar: What Application Owners Need to Know About SQL Server (Even If They’re Not Technical)

Gain a better understanding of how SQL Server impacts applications in this webinar.
Wednesday, Sept. 16
2:00 p.m. Eastern/11:00 a.m. Pacific

If you own a business application, you’re accountable for its uptime, its cost, and its performance, even if you’ve never opened SQL Server Management Studio in your life. But most guidance out there is written for DBAs, not for the people who actually make decisions about the app.

This webinar is different. We’ll walk through real findings from real SQL Server environments — the kind of things that quietly cause slow page loads, failed backups, and surprise outages — and translate each one into what it actually means for you: What did it cost? What was the risk? What would you have needed to ask your team (or your vendor) to catch it sooner?

You won’t need to know what an execution plan is. You’ll walk away knowing:

  • The handful of warning signs that predict an outage before it happens
  • Where SQL Server costs quietly creep up without anyone noticing
  • The right questions to ask your DBA, IT team, or managed services provider, and what a good answer sounds like
  • How to tell the difference between a problem that can wait and one that can’t

Hosted by SQL Solutions Group Founder Randy Knight and Director Blythe Morrow, this webinar will give you the kind of technical “leg up” you can’t gain from reading a few blog posts.

Whether you’re planning a budget, evaluating a vendor, or just tired of being surprised by “the database,” this session will give you a plain-English way to think about the system running underneath your application.
