    Topic: Disaster Recovery for MS SQL Server Workloads in VMware Cloud Foundation The Importance of a Reliable Disaster Recovery Plan "Deji, disaster recovery (DR) planning is often overlooked until an actual disaster occurs. Why is it particularly crucial for MS SQL Server workloads, and what are the most common mistakes enterprises make when it comes to protecting mission-critical databases?" VMware Live Recovery (VLR): Transforming Disaster Recovery in VCF "Let's talk about VMware Live Recovery (VLR)—VMware's solution for disaster recovery within VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). Can you explain what VLR does and how it ensures a reliable, repeatable, and simplified recovery process for enterprise-class SQL Server clusters?" How VLR Simplifies Disaster Recovery for MS SQL Server in VCF "SQL Server clusters are often complex to manage, especially during failover scenarios. How does VLR reduce that complexity and provide a more seamless disaster recovery experience for organizations using VCF?" Configuring VMware Live Recovery for MS SQL Server: Key Considerations "For organizations looking to implement VMware Live Recovery (VLR) for their SQL Server workloads, what are the key steps in configuring and deploying a robust disaster recovery plan? What factors should IT teams keep in mind during setup?" Best Practices for Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity "Even with powerful tools like VLR, having a well-designed DR plan is key. What are some of the best practices you recommend to ensure SQL Server workloads can be recovered quickly and efficiently? How can businesses improve their Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)?" How VMware Cloud Foundation Enhances Disaster Recovery "VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) unifies compute, storage, and networking, providing a seamless infrastructure for workloads. How does VCF enhance disaster recovery capabilities for SQL Server workloads, and how does it integrate with VMware Live Recovery?" Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Disaster Recovery Planning "From your experience, what are the most common pitfalls organizations face when implementing disaster recovery for SQL Server? How can IT teams proactively test and refine their DR strategies before disaster strikes?" 12:55 - 1:00: Closing Comments Final takeaways from Deji. Wrap-Up with the Barbecue Report: Deji shares his favorite barbecue dish or a memorable community BBQ moment.
