Note to self: Watch this, "Optimizing Microsoft SQL Server Performance in a Virtual Environment"

TechEd North America 2012 - Optimizing Microsoft SQL Server Performance in a Virtual Environment

"In this session, learn what you should be looking at within your virtual environment to ensure you are getting the performance you should out of it. This includes how to look for CPU performance issues at the host level. We also discuss the Memory Balloon drivers and what they actually do, how you should be configuring them, and why. We discuss some of the memory sharing technologies which are built into vSphere and Hyper-V and how they relate to SQL Server. We finish up with some storage configuration options to look at. #TEDBI317"

We're virtualizing more and more at my day job, including SQL Servers, so I want to watch this to better help me understand and talk the IT talk (or at least better understand the my app's DB environment).
