Enhancements to Microsoft SQL Server 2008
SQL 2008 delivers important enhancements over previous versions of SQL Server in critical areas including security, dependability, ease of administration, functionality, business information, scalability, and performance.
- Data Security
SQL 2008 offers application-independent encryption of entire databases, data files, or logs. This feature enhances confidential data without the need of reprogramming existing applications. More sophisticated tools for specifying and administering database audits help companies to comply with regulatory mandates. - Availability
Microsoft's high-availability architecture is engineered to achieve minimal downtime by improved fault-tolerance, non-disruptive maintenance, and quicker restoration after an unexpected failure. Improved clustering mitigates the effect of hardware failures, hot-add processor support and online replication can avoid scheduled downtime, and backup compression minimizes restore time. - Manageability
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 streamlines policy management and tracking via intelligent mechanisms in Microsoft's Policy-Based Management system. This reduces maintenance costs by enabling managers to automate policy checking. Automatic tuning and troubleshooting is enabled by SQL Server's Performance Studio. Resource Governor enables companies to define resources for different applications to provide consistent response to users. - Capability
SQL 2008 opens the door for a new generation of business applications by recognizing many types of structured and unstructured data such as pictures, sound, moving video, date/time, and geographic data. Language Integrated Query (LINQ) accelerates application programming by supporting data queries from Microsoft Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET. - Reporting
SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services simplify report authoring, administration, and delivery. SSRS enables companies to design business reports from a wide selection of data sources such as relational or XML-based. SQL Server Reports can be accessed on a web connection, Office Word and Excel 2007 and Excel 2010, or an Office SharePoint site. SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services offer sophisticated data mining technologies and new Data Mining Add-ins for Office 2007 make business information available at the desktop. - Speed and Expandability
Microsoft SQL 2008 supports 64-bit processors and multi-core and multi-CPU systems and is able to access up to 8 TB of memory. For multi-processor environments, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 avoids memory traffic jams by seamlessly supporting NUMA-based computers. By enabling live add-ins of CPUs and RAM, SQL 2008 allows companies to scale database services up without shutting the production system down. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 also enables new database nodes to be added and connected online during replication activity. Microsoft SQL 2008 includes a variety of isolation mechanisms to support higher throughput via concurrent transactions without losing read integrity. Speed and scalability are both increased by more efficient data compression, and administrators are given a powerful set of utilities like Performance Data Collector and Analysis Services to monitor and control performance.
