This presentation is for those of you who are interested in moving your on-prem SQL Server databases and servers to Azure virtual machines (VM’s) in the cloud so you can take advantage of all the benefits of being in the cloud. This is commonly referred to as a “lift and shift” as part of an Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) solution. I will discuss the various Azure VM sizes and options, migration strategies, storage options, high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) solutions, and best practices.
Microsoft SQL Server internals & architectureKevin Kline
From noted SQL Server expert and author Kevin Kline - Let’s face it. You can effectively do many IT jobs related to Microsoft SQL Server without knowing the internals of how SQL Server works. Many great developers, DBAs, and designers get their day-to-day work completed on time and with reasonable quality while never really knowing what’s happening behind the scenes. But if you want to take your skills to the next level, it’s critical to know SQL Server’s internal processes and architecture. This session will answer questions like:
- What are the various areas of memory inside of SQL Server?
- How are queries handled behind the scenes?
- What does SQL Server do with procedural code, like functions, procedures, and triggers?
- What happens during checkpoints? Lazywrites?
- How are IOs handled with regards to transaction logs and database?
- What happens when transaction logs and databases grow or shrinks?
This fast paced session will take you through many aspects of the internal operations of SQL Server and, for those topics we don’t cover, will point you to resources where you can get more information.
The AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature is a high-availability and disaster-recovery solution that provides an enterprise-level alternative to database mirroring. Introduced in SQL Server 2012, AlwaysOn Availability Groups maximizes the availability of a set of user databases for an enterprise
Think of big data as all data, no matter what the volume, velocity, or variety. The simple truth is a traditional on-prem data warehouse will not handle big data. So what is Microsoft’s strategy for building a big data solution? And why is it best to have this solution in the cloud? That is what this presentation will cover. Be prepared to discover all the various Microsoft technologies and products from collecting data, transforming it, storing it, to visualizing it. My goal is to help you not only understand each product but understand how they all fit together, so you can be the hero who builds your companies big data solution.

Building the Perfect SharePoint 2010 Farm - SPS Brisbane 2011Michael Noel
SharePoint 2010 has matured over the past year, with improvements in scalability, enterprise search, and administration. Best practices from SharePoint 2007 are no longer relevant, and new guidance has emerged from the last year worth of SharePoint deployments. In addition, new features such as SharePoint FAST Search capabilities can have a significant effect on how an environment is architected. In addition, the popularity of server virtualization technologies have created new design options for SharePoint administrators, allowing for new and unique high availability and provisioning options. This session goes right to the heart of the matter, providing for physical and virtual architecture guidelines and specific configuration settings that can immediately be used to construct SharePoint 2010 environments that can be used to replace existing SharePoint 2007 farms. Architectural specifics are based on best practices obtained from existing SharePoint 2010 environments of multiple sizes and performance metrics gathered from both physical and virtual SQL Server and SharePoint environments will help you to build the ‘perfect’ SharePoint 2010 farm for your organization.

Microsoft 365 M365 Management Made Easy
Do you struggle with administering your Microsoft 365 tenant? Have you ever wished there was an easy way to segment your tenant so you could delegate permissions more granularly to group or site admins?
Microsoft has introduced Administrative Units and they are a great start to creating boundaries within your tenant for user and group administration but are they enough? What about the other Microsoft365 services not covered by Administrative Units?
Microsoft has also announced they’ll be introducing custom roles for Microsoft 365. While currently very limited, they do promise that you’ll be able to get more granular with the permissions you want to assign.
CoreView helps you to easily manage Microsoft 365 by combining multiple Microsoft Admin Centers into a single view so you no longer need to log into multiple admin centers to complete everyday tasks.
With Virtual Tenants (like OUs for Azure AD), you can also segment your tenant by geography, department, or any other AD attribute to limit the admin scope. Virtual Tenants can be applied to any Microsoft 365 object, so they’re not just limited to users and groups.
CoreView also has very granular permissions that allow you to adhere to the least privilege access policy recommended by Microsoft. CoreView permission sets can get as granular as a single attribute without giving the delegated administrator permission to do anything else.
You’ll also see how you can easily delegate the running of PowerShell scripts so once the script is created, anyone with proper CoreView permissions can execute it.
Register now to hear MVP Joel Oleson’s take on Admin Units, and how CoreView can help take them to the next level.

Microsoft Groups Demystified: 5 Keys to Successful Group Management Joel Oleson
How are you handling Microsoft groups as you adopt more and more of the cloud? What should you do with your DLs? For hybrid environments, legacy groups can be a real struggle, and most organizations leave security groups in place while creating new ones in the cloud. Double the groups can mean double the frustration.
Join us for this webinar, where we’ll explore the history of security groups and distribution lists and dive deep into how best to approach users and strategies for on-premises and cloud group coexistence and synchronization. We’ll also explore the new Teams Information Boundaries and Unified Labeling and classifications to paint a clearer picture of security and classification in Microsoft 365.
This session will take comprehensive look at Microsoft “Groups end to end” and work to cover some common groups questions:
What about lifecycle and cleanup?
Policy & Naming standards?
Is write-back an option?
How do I sync my groups?
What can I do for coexistence and hybrid?
I want to copy my on-prem groups can I do that?
Can I setup my groups as dynamic or rule-based in the cloud (and potential additional costs)?

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Tech Ed Africa Demystifying Backup Restore In Share Point 2007
1.
2. Demystifying Backup and Restore for SharePoint Joel Oleson Sr. Analyst @joeloleson Quest Software Session Code:
3. Who is SharePoint Joel? 8 year SharePoint Veteran… First SharePoint Admin Sr. Architect – SharePoint at Quest software Top IT SharePoint Blog Blog: http://www.sharepointjoel.com Twitter: @joeloleson
4. Agenda Understanding the problem Defining requirements Discuss backup & recovery solutions Tips & Tricks – Addressing gaps in backup/restore Summary and Q&A (Compliments to Mike Watson)
12. What in Your SharePoint Environment Needs Protection? Do you need to protect all of your farms, servers, services, customizations, and configurations?
13. What do you need to backup Your Databases All Configuration and settings Your Services (Index) External Code and Dev assets
16. Creating a Backup/Recovery Solution Difficult but not impossible! What needs to be protected from what scenarios? How likely are those scenarios? How much data loss can be tolerated? How quickly must items/environment be restored? Test and price potential solutions. Mitigate issues. Choose and communicate solution.
20. Recycle Bin with 2 levels of recovery End-user targeted with access from the site itself Site Administrator (at the Site Collection) accessible at the second level Turned on by default through Central Admin Configured at the Web Application Level The No Brainer…
21. RTO/RPO – Very Important! How much data loss can be tolerated? How quickly must data/environment be restored? RTO/RPO affect: The technologies you choose The strategies you deploy The simplicity/complexity of your solution The location of your backups and environments
25. Content Database Protection Simple Problem – Difficult Solution Endless options: SharePoint native backup SQL Native backup With compression? Simple or Full recovery model? Full, Differential, Incremental backups? Transaction log backups? What to store and how long? SQL log shipping, mirroring, replication? DPM? Third-Party backup and replication tools?
26. Content Database Recovery Even more difficult! SQL database recovery workflow Confirm item Confirm location Track down database backup timeline Recover backups (online or offline (tape)) Position backups (same server/farm, recovery farm) Confirm backups are valid Restore backups Attach backups to SharePoint Confirm item is available Retrieve item and position for end user Recover to original farm Recover to a restore farm Extract data from SQL. Bring DR database online.
27. “I’m planning on using SharePoint’s Native Backup Restore, are there any considerations I should know? SharePoint Native Backup/Restore SharePoint Native Backup/Restore provides an out of the box base solution SharePoint’s Native Backup/Restore is only recommended for Small to Medium Sized Deployments…
28. STSADM for Operations and Scripting Tool for the right job… To create a farm backup: Use stsadm –o backup -directory To migrate a site collection: Use stsadm –o backup http://server/site (no directory) To migrate a site: Use stsadm –o export/import for sites To migrate a list: Access or Excel or Third party tool (watch creator/created date)
29. Characteristics of a Small to Medium-Size Deployment (Data Perspective) Site Collections No Larger than 12-15 GB* Content Databases No Larger than 100 GB* Deployed in up to three tiers, on no more than five servers (one to three front-end Web servers, one application server, and one computer or cluster running Microsoft SQL Server.)* *Source: Whitepaper “Data protection and recovery for Office SharePoint Server in small to medium deployments”
30. SharePoint 2007 Native Backup & Restore Out of the Box User Interface via Central Administration Command line access via STSADM tool ‘Hooks up’ SharePoint Databases and Search index on Restore Supports Full and Differential Backups* Easy to Use Backup/Restore at Farm or Web Application Level The only way native way to backup/restore the Search index
31. How Native SharePoint Backup Works Farm Central Admin UI or Console File Server SQL Backup/Restore
32. SharePoint 2007 Native Backup/Restore What’s Missing??? Does not Provide Scheduling Functionality in SharePoint (Use Windows Task Scheduler) Does not Backup any Configurations/Customizations to any files in the “12 Hive” or Web.config files Does not Backup IIS Settings/Configurations Does not Backup Alternate Access Mappings (AAM) Cannot Backup Directly to Tape (only to UNC)
33. SQL-Only Backup/Restore “My SQL servers are managed by a separate organization or data center from my SharePoint installations…” “I prefer SQL Server Backups for Performance and Availability…” Advantages & Benefits: Existing SQL Server disaster recovery strategies can be re-used Can provider substantially faster Backup/Restore than MOSS 2007’s Native Backup/Restore Can leverage 3rd party tools such as LiteSpeed for SQL Server to improve Backup/Restore Performance Provides a full-fidelity data backup
34. SQL-Only Backup/Restore Considerations & Disadvantages: Does not Backup any WFE Configurations or Solutions Requires Admin to Manually Reattach Content Databases to the Web applications After a Recovery Manually Backup / Restore all customizations on WFE Servers (.Net Assemblies, Features, IIS Metabase, etc. – batch file can help automate this process) No need to Backup Search Database (As it can’t be synchronized with Search Index) Recommend Backup/Restore of SSP separately via SharePoint Native Backup & Restore
35. Why Backup/Restore is Not Highly Available or DR Simply not fast enough Rate of restore * content size = RTO Example: 100MB/sec * 5TB > 14 hours Complicated recovery procedure Prone to error Some important configurations will likely be lost.
38. Third Party Solutions There are three main categories: Storage Solutions – Replication of content on disk to another storage set or system. Backup/Restore – Integrate with SQL, file system, or VSS to provide backup/restore functionality. Caching/Synchronization – Use a variety of methods to cache content to a remote store or replicate content across sites/farms.
39. Quick Note on the Infrastructure Update Infrastructure update includes some major HA/DR improvements Overall improvement in stability/perf (better stored procs) Faster patching reduces downtime. VSS Writer enhancements improve reliability. Full crawls no longer necessary after DB attach: Content DB’s do not get assigned new GUID’s !!!! Change log remains intact. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953750
40. Tips and tricks Mitigating problems with backup/restore solutions
41. Improving Performance of Native Backup Co locate the backup share with the largest backup components. Ensure the index disk has good read performance. (100MB/sec or better) Ensure the backup LUN has good write performance. (100MB/sec or better) Ensure database LUN(s) have good read performance. (150MB/sec or better) Ensure Gbps connectivity between remote components and backup share. (1Gbps or 100MB/sec) Ensure all crawls (including anchor text) are stopped/paused.
42. Using A SQL Connection Alias with SharePoint 1. SharePoint configured to use SQL1 as default SQL server 2. Connection Alias defined: SQL1 = SQL1 3. Upon failover. Connection Alias updated: SQL1 = SQL2 SQL1 SQL2
43. Prevent Database Restores Use granular protection solutions instead. Recycle bin List item versioning Publishing (page versioning) Quick Recovery Tool (like Quest) Gaps exist. No site or web recycle bin. Use the MSIT Site Delete capture tool http://www.codeplex.com/governance/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=14351 No centralized control over item and page versioning
44. Use Solutions! Roll up customizations as solution packages Roll up as many customizations into a single package as possible. Solutions provide automatic deployment, simplified management, upgrade, and HA/DR efficiencies. Store solutions offsite (and on standby farm) with installation instructions. Build roll up packages on a regular basis.
45. DEMO: Quest Recovery Manager Provides granular and scalable recovery of anything in the backup of your SharePoint 2003 and 2007 content database
49. Summary SharePoint Backup/Recovery is tricky, but not impossible. Traditional backup/restore is not HA or DR. Different requirements sometimes require different solutions. Most solutions have issues. Look around for innovative fixes. No one solutions meets all needs. Combine solutions when necessary.

Editor's Notes
An example of a warm standby environment utilizing a second SharePoint farm deployed in a secondary data center using SQL Server High Performance Mirroring to replicate only the content databases. During a failover, the content databases are brought online and attached to the existing farm.
An example of a straddle farm installed in two closely located data centers. In this example SQL High Availability Mirroring is used to replicate all SharePoint farm databases to a standby SQL server (mirror). The network conditions between the two datacenters allow high throughput and remains supportable. A load balancer solution or DNS directs clients to the active data center.
