High volume streams of events are pervasive in manufacturing, financial trading, and web analytics applications. Sifting through these events to find the patterns that identify key business scenarios in a timely enough fashion to react used to require expensive, narrowly tailored software packages. Now, with StreamInsight in SQL Server 2008 R2, developers can use a simple and expressive LINQ API to analyze both historical streams of events and near real time streams to identify patterns and react.

In this session we'll cover an overview of StreamInsight and then dig into examples of its use. Whether you're monitoring assembly lines or analyzing and responding to user behavior while they're still on your site, StreamInsight can make your job easier. Since it's included with SQL Server, there aren't any extra licensing fees.
