Trusted
|
|
|
Run your most mission critical applications on a secure, reliable, and scalable
platform.
|
|
|
Protect Your Data
Dynamically encrypt your valuable data within an entire database, data files, or
log files, without the need for application changes. Simplify increasing regulatory
compliance by using the advanced data auditing abilities of SQL Server 2008. Minimize
exposure for security attacks by using Surface Area Configuration to enable only
the services you require.
|
|
|
Ensure Business Continuity
Seamlessly increase the reliability of applications with Database Mirroring. Simplify
the recovery of applications from storage failures. Transfer operational data between
the active operational systems and backup systems. Add system resources, like CPU
and memory, without affecting applications.
|
|
|
Provide Predictable Response
Ensure consistent performance by using Resource Governor to define resource limits
and priorities for different workloads and enable consistent performance. Reduce
your storage costs and improve performance of large I/O bound workloads by using
data compression.
|
|
|
|
Productive
|
|
|
Reduce the cost of managing your data infrastructure while streamlining development
of data applications.
|
|
|
Spend Less Time on Operations
Manage your enterprise data infrastructure easily with Declarative Management Framework
(DMF). Reduce the time spent on daily maintenance operations by defining a common
set of policies for most database operations like query optimizations, naming conventions,
backup and restore operations, and index management. Apply policies to many servers
for consistent management across the enterprise. Enable Performance System Analysis
by collecting performance data from your system and store it in a centralized data
repository. View reports to benchmark and analyze system performance and health.
|
|
|
Accelerate Development
Access data by defining business entities instead of tables and columns with the
ADO.NET Entity Framework. Query and retrieve these entities natively within any
.NET language with Language Integrated Query (LINQ). Enable developers to work with
the logical entity model, and administrators to define the physical implementation
of the model as tables and columns.
|
|
|
Access Your Data from Anywhere
Create flexible, occasionally connected applications that can function when disconnected
from the network. Create a next generation of applications that can work on a local
data store and automatically synchronize the local store with a central store when
a connection is available.
|
|
|
Store and Consume Any Type of Data
Use the new FILESTREAM data type to manage unstructured data such as documents and
images outside the database. Store XML efficiently and enable easy access with XQuery.
Improve the handling of temporal data by using new date and time data types.
|
|
|
Deliver Location Intelligence
Consume, use, and extend location-based data through spatial-enabled applications.
Build location-aware applications by using new spatial data capabilities in SQL
Server 2008.
|
|
|
|
Intelligent
|
|
|
Drive business intelligence throughout your organization, manage reports and analysis
of any size or complexity, and empower users by providing powerful visualization
and integration with the Microsoft Office System.
|
|
|
Integrate Any Data
Scale and manage large numbers of users and data with improved query performance
on large tables. Optimize queries for data warehousing scenarios, and increase I/O
performance with efficient and cost effective data storage. Integrate growing volumes
of data from disparate systems with the scalable data integration features of Integration
Services. Consolidate real-time data into the data warehouse with Change Data Capture
functionality.
|
|
|
Deliver Relevant Information
Empower users to answer complex questions by providing the relevant information
through reports with powerful visualizations and rendered in Microsoft Office Word
and Microsoft Office Excel®. Enable users to create complex reports and share
them internally and externally with customers and partners.
|
|
|
Drive Actionable Insight
Provide a consistent set of KPIs and business metrics to all users by using the
comprehensive and scalable analysis platform of SQL Server Analysis Services that
has intuitive access through Office Excel. Integrated Data Mining enables predictive
analysis so you can investigate common issues like forecasting and identifying key
influencers for decisions. Develop scalable analysis models with enhanced designers
that incorporate best practices into the design experience. Increase the scale and
performance of analysis by using enhanced analytical capabilities and complex computations
and aggregations.
