  <strong>This year I have TWO sessions!</strong>
</p>

<p>
  <strong>1. <a href="http://www.sqlsaturday.com/650/Sessions/Details.aspx?sid=63281">Linux OS Fundamentals for the SQL Admin</a></strong>
</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>
    SQL Server and PowerShell are now available on Linux and management wants you to leverage this shift in technology to more effectively manage your systems, but you’re a Windows admin!  Don’t fear! It’s just an operating system! It has all the same components Windows has and in this session we’ll show you that. We will look at the Linux operating system architecture and show you how to interact with and manage Linux system. By the end of this session you’ll be ready to go back to the office and get started working with Linux with a fundamental understanding of how it works.
  </p>

  <strong>2. <a href="http://www.sqlsaturday.com/650/Sessions/Details.aspx?sid=63279">Designing High Availability Database Systems using AlwaysOn Availability Groups</a></strong>
</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>
    Are you looking for a high availability solution for your business critical application? You&#8217;re heard about AlwaysOn Availability Groups and they seem like a good solution, but you don&#8217;t know where to start. It all starts with a solid design. In this session we introduce the core concepts needed to design a Availability Group based system. Covering topics such as recovery objectives, replica placement, failover requirements, synchronization models, quorum, backup and recovery and monitoring. This session is modeled after real world client engagements conducted by Centino Systems that have lead to many successful Availability Groups based systems supporting tier 1 business critical applications.
