Session Details - Partitioning is not just for "enterprise"

Partitioning is absolutely essential for "enterprise" class systems - BUT this session shows how systems with even conservative volumes of data can benefit significantly from partitioning. If you haven't discovered yet what partitioning can do for you on your system or are considering a move to work on systems that use partitioning - then this session is for you. This session is comprehensible for those that have not used partitioning yet, as partitioning is a simple concept to grasp. The session starts with a brief 5-minute overview and gives a unique insight into the lessons learned and will prove invaluable if you are considering using partitioning now or in the future. Many resources teach the basics of partitioning - BUT this session shows how to implement partitioning in the real world and how partitioning can give benefits on almost any size of system not just enterprise. Drawing on examples from large and small projects with which the presenter has direct experience - to show how partitioning solves real world problems.
