Improvements to Microsoft SQL Server 2008
SQL 2008 offers important improvements in critical areas including security, fault-tolerance, self management, capability, analytics, scalability, and speed.
- Security
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 introduces application-independent data encryption of entire databases, files, or log files. This enhances privacy without requiring modifying existing applications. More sophisticated mechanisms for specifying and managing audits help businesses to meet regulatory mandates. - Reliability
Microsoft's high-availability technology is designed to provide near-zero system downtime by improved fault-tolerance, non-disruptive maintenance, and faster recovery after an unexpected crash. Advanced database mirroring mitigates the impact of storage breakdowns, hot-add processor capability and online replication help reduce routine offline maintenance, and backup compression speeds up restore time. - Ease of Administration
Microsoft SQL 2008 streamlines policy management and tracking via intelligent functions built into Microsoft's Policy-Based Framework. This reduces maintenance expenses by enabling managers to save time in policy execution. Self tuning and monitoring is supported by Performance Studio. Resource Governor enables companies to define priorities for various workloads to provide consistent performance to SQL Server clients. - Capability
SQL 2008 enables the next wave of programs by recognizing many types of structured and unstructured data like images, sound, moving video, date/time, and geospatial data. LINQ speeds up application programming by allowing queries from C# and Microsoft Visual Basic .NET. - Reporting
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services help with report authoring, administration, and distribution. SSRS enables companies to create business reports using a wide selection of sources such as relational or multidimensional. SQL Server Reports can be viewed over the web, Word 2007 and Word 2010 and Excel 2007 and Excel 2010, or a SharePoint site. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services deliver advanced data mining technologies and new Data Mining Add-ins for Microsoft Office 2007 make business information available at the desktop. - Performance and Expandability
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 works with 64-bit CPUs and multi-processor systems and is able to address as much as eight TBytes of RAM memory. For multi-CPU systems, SQL Server 2008 eliminates memory bottlenecks by seamlessly supporting NUMA-based computers. By enabling hot expansion of processors and RAM, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 allows companies to scale database services up without taking the production system down. SQL Server 2008 also enables additional database nodes to be added and connected online during replication activity.Microsoft SQL 2008 provides numerous isolation levels to support higher throughput via concurrent transactions without losing data consistency. Performance and scalability are both increased by improved database compression, and managers are provided a rich library of tools like SQL Server Integration Services to track and control responsiveness.
