And this ultimately in the service of my customers. In Germany nothing will surprise me after many years of big and small projects:<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve seen, improved, or co-developed a wide range of systems, from multi-terabyte data warehouse designs to millisecond latency-sensitive OLTP systems, data corruption due to crashed SAN systems, traces of SQL injection attacks in systems, and complex Availability Group architectures.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand this was an advantage in many projects where I could benefit from this experience, but on the other hand I do not see the end of the possibilities for me. At Microsoft, on the other hand, the very environment I expect to be able to influence customers around the world is what awaits me. <strong>In this way, I will, so to speak, stay connected to all of you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am delighted to join the team for Database Security, which has been close to me for years, and to be able to maintain the high standards of security in SQL Server and bring in my own ideas of which I have accumulated many. I hope that in the near future some of this will arrive in SQL Server. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I would like to thank you, my loyal readers and customers, and also especially the German PASS Community and SentryOne, for the close to 18 successful years together and partnerships and I look forward to meeting you again in a different constellation.<\/p>\n<p>* More specifically, I will first work for Microsoft UK from near London, before moving to Redmond.
