The Microsoft Business Intelligence solution provides a robust BI platform in SQL Server, end user tools with Excel 2007, ProClarity and Performance Management application in PerformancePoint. Customers need help in building a scalable and predictable hardware infrastructure that can support the many requirements of a comprehensive Business Intelligence solution. HP and Intel provide multi server Reference Configurations addressing various data sizes ranging from 500 GB to 10 TB both on the x64 and Itanium platforms. These Reference Configurations address the deployment of all the above mentioned Microsoft Business Intelligence Products in a multi server environment. In addition, HP provides a brand new HP BI Sizer that allows customers to build the most optimum hardware configuration for Microsoft Business Intelligence.

In this session we will introduce you to the various HP and Intel Reference Configurations, discuss the methodology that HP used for sizing the Reference Configurations and finally demo the use of the new HP BI Sizer. This will enable you to provide additional insight to your customers as they demand comprehensive guidance from you regarding the approach they should take in the deployment of their Business Intelligence infrastructure.

Connect with Microsoft and other partners; listen to Microsoft subject matter experts as they discuss their areas of expertise related to Microsoft’s sales and competitive strategy. Learn more about Microsoft’s products (including insight into products on the launch horizon); positioning of business value to customers; sharing wins from the field and how the account team won; world class selling skills and best practice; and leveraging Microsoft resources to maximize your productivity. Partner Academy Live caters to all depths of knowledge.

If you have WMP 9 or later installed but still do not hear the audio, confirm that your PC speakers are turned on and that the volume is turned up. If you continue to experience difficulties, once you are logged into the session, please turn your seat color to red via the drop down menu in the Seating Chart. Expect a 1:1 chat for assistance.

Web-based console
