About Ben Miller:
I’m one of a few Microsoft Certified Masters out there, and I’m also a Microsoft MVP. I’ve been working with data since the 90s, learning how to find the truth buried inside servers. I saw so much potential—which is why I started learning the C/C++ ropes to become a developer. Once there, I wanted to learn how to build networks for better systems, so I became a System Administrator. Today I specialize in SQL Server, performance tuning, database infrastructure, High Availability, and PowerShell development for automating SQL Server tasks. There isn’t an area of data that doesn’t excite me.
I’ve been a member of the SQL Server Community since 1998 through answering questions in forums, speaking and mentoring fellow DBAs. I still speak regularly and mentor others in automation and bettering their skill sets to get more done in the same amount of time.
