Definition: Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system, or RDBMS, that supports a wide variety of transaction processing, business intelligence and analytics applications in corporate IT environments
Automate SQL Server Docker container configuration via Dockerfiles
As many in IT have learned the hard way, building software containers for systems like SQL Server can be tough. That's where Dockerfiles come in to help automate the process.
Virtual patching trades convenience for increased risk
Performance might not suffer too much when using a virtual patch, but there are reliability, quality and support concerns associated with this technology.
Prepare for VMware patches as if they were firmware upgrades
VMware patches, due to interconnections with the rest of your system, require as much coordination as firmware upgrades. Balance update scheduling carefully to maintain control.
Strengthen security in virtualization with these best practices
Prioritize security across your organization, and establish policies that employ best practices, like least-privilege tactics, security audits and update and patch automation.
