Thanks to everybody who came to my session on BI for the Masses… in the last 24 hours I built a fresh SharePoint 2010 farm and all the SQL BI stack demonstrated including Reporting Services, Tabular Analysis Services, PowerView, Power Pivot and various other steps. Not out of choice, but the hosted environment I had been using started to fall apart… a serious curse of the demo gods but thankfully recovered. So the lesson learned is that whilst it is possible to build all the infrastructure in a short amount of time, it is advised to have a DR strategy regardless of dev, test or production environment!
Happy to answer any questions you have about the session – just ping me on twitter or gus [-at-] techblurt.com
