Join us as SQL Server MVP, Aaron Bertrand shares his knowledge about SQL Server 2008 Resource Governor:

In this presentation, Aaron will provide an overview of Resource Governor, a new feature in SQL Server 2008 that will give DBAs and system administrators much more granular control over how CPU and memory are used by SQL Server. He will explain how you can leverage SQL Server 2008's Resource Governor not only for preventing the "runaway query" but also for prioritizing workloads, testing consolidation approaches, meeting service level agreements, and configuring a chargeback system.  Aaron will also provide information about what you cannot or should not do with Resource Governor. This presentation is the basis of an upcoming whitepaper to be published soon.
