SQL Bits 2017 – at the disco’tech’

We’re now just one month away from SQL Bits, a data conference bringing together the largest European gathering of Microsoft data platform professionals from 28 countries.

Redgate is proud to have sponsored SQL Bits since the event began in 2007. This year, we’re especially looking forward to being part of SQL Bits ‘Disco’, which takes place on 5 – 8 April in Telford, UK.

Many of Redgate’s customers and the SQL Server community attend SQL Bits to learn from some of the best industry expert trainers. We’re happy to be able to offer our customers a discount of 10% off the registration cost. Just use REDGATE when you register to claim the discount.

We’ll be making the journey from Cambridge up north to Telford, and have some exciting activities planned for the week. Most of these are focused around the recent launch of Redgate’s new tool SQL Clone.

Learn about database provisioning using SQL Clone from Grant Fritchey and Richard Macaskill

Faster Provisioning with SQL Clone

Database provisioning requests are the bane of many DBA’s working lives. Developers want to work with realistic data, DBAs want to protect production and secure data.

In this session, Data Platform MVP Grant Fritchey, and Redgate Product Manager, Richard Macaskill, show how the new tool, SQL Clone, enables self-service or easy automation of database copies and is near-instant at the time of need, using a fraction of the disk space, and allowing quick reversion to a baseline.

Chat with the team in the Expo Hall

Thursday, 6 April – Saturday, 8 October
