Upper Darby, PA 19082

Welcome the crisp fall days of October with our Speaker Contest winners! Instead of one long keynote, we will have four short user

presentations. Our speaker contest winners are

            Bart Hirst -- Practical SQL Server 2000 to 2005 Migration Tips

            Mike Metcalfe -- SQL Server Funeral Services

            Mike Welsh -- SQL Server 2005 Performance Monitor New Features

Vince Napoli will also present one of his Tips and Tricks Series: Looking at SQL Server 2005 TSQL enhancements -- using the OUTPUT clause to make your life easier.

Our meeting is sponsored by CA XOSoft. Josh Mazgelis, a senior Systems Engineer at CA XOSoft, will present a session titled Disaster Recovery / High Availability for SQL.

Abstract: How do the new SQL Server 2005 high-availability features factor into your business continuity planning?

This session will provide a real-world perspective on the improvements and to understand where you may still need protection.

Does your SQL environment require a bandwidth-optimized, full compression, high-availability solution? View walkthrough demo of

CA XOsoft's SQL high-availability product with asynchronous automatic failover and failback capabilities. Also featured will be our

disaster recovery testing capabilities that perform fully automated, scheduled tests that validate the replica server environment.

CA XOsoft's rewind technology (built in CDP), which provides the ability to quickly roll back data to any point in time, accelerating

time to recovery with minimal data loss, will be shown as well.
