Database App lications in the Microsoft Hyper-V Environment SAN DIEGO, CA, January 29, 2013 -- Astute NetworksTM, Inc., the leading provider of performance storage appliances, today announced that, together with Microsof t and Veeam, it will host a Vino and Virtualization Educational Event at EdgeWild Winery, in Chesterfield, Mo. The event, to be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday , January 30, will feature informative presentations on how to achieve unprecede nted performance for database applications in a Hyper-V environment. Applications such as virtualized databases and VDI have demanding I/O performanc e characteristics that legacy storage architectures were never designed to suppo rt. Ensuring the performance of Oracle and SQL Server-based applications while m aximizing data availability and minimizing costs is a significant challenge. Dat abase server transaction processing applications are very random I/O intensive. But supporting enterprise-wide deployments of these powerful databases with trad itional rotating disk storage systems inherently limits performance, resulting i n prolonged queries, unacceptable response times, and long-running transactions. The result is often vendor finger-pointing that doesnt solve the business proble m. Experts from Microsoft, Veeam and Astute will address these challenges and prese nt a series of sessions and solutions designed to help attendees achieve more wi th their Hyper-V environment. The sessions include: ft State of the Union for Hyper-V for Windows Server 2012 presented by Microso
