Improvements to SQL 2008
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 delivers important improvements in key categories including security, reliability, ease of administration, functionality, business information, expandability, and speed.
- Protection
SQL Server 2008 offers transparent data encryption of whole databases, data files, or logs. This protects confidential data without the need of reprogramming business applications. More sophisticated mechanisms for configuring and administering audits help companies to meet regulations. - Reliability
Microsoft's high-availability technology is designed to provide near-zero system downtime by enhanced fault-tolerance, non-intrusive maintenance, and quicker recovery after an unplanned failure. Advanced failover clustering mitigates the effect of hardware breakdowns, live-add processor capability and peer-to-peer replication can avoid routine downtime, and archive compression speeds up restore time. - Manageability
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 streamlines policy management and tracking via intelligent mechanisms in Microsoft's Policy-Based Framework System. This reduces support expenses by allowing administrators to save time in policy checking. Self tuning and troubleshooting is supported by SQL Server's Performance Studio. SQL 2008's Resource Governor allows managers to define priorities for various workloads in order to deliver predictable performance to users. - Capability
Microsoft SQL 2008 enables the next wave of programs by recognizing multiple types of structured and semi-structured data such as images, sound, video, date and time, and geospatial data. LINQ speeds up application programming by allowing data queries from Visual C# and Microsoft Visual Basic .NET. - Management Reporting
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services simplify report creation, management, and distribution. SSRS enables companies to create business reports from a broad range of data sources including relational or XML-based. Reports can be viewed via the web, Office Word and Excel 2007 and Excel 2010, or an Office SharePoint site. SQL 2008 Analysis Services offer advanced data mining capabilities and new Data Mining Add-ins for Office 2007 make information accessible at the workstation. - Performance and Scalability
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 works with 64-bit processors and multi-core and multi-CPU systems and can handle up to eight terabytes of RAM. For multi-processor environments, SQL Server 2008 avoids memory bottlenecks by transparently supporting NUMA-based servers. By enabling hot add-ins of CPUs and RAM memory, Microsoft SQL 2008 permits companies to scale a database solution up without shutting the production system down. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 also enables new nodes to be added and connected live even during replication.SQL Server 2008 provides numerous isolation levels that allow increased throughput through concurrent transactions while preserving read consistency. Speed and scalability are both increased by more efficient database compression, and managers are provided a powerful library of tools like SQL Server Integration Services to monitor and tune responsiveness.
