SQL Server 2008 Continues to raise the bar as a BI platform

by keruibo 17. August 2008 16:46

Microsoft recently released the latest version of its SQL Server platform: SQL Server 2008. Like its predecessors, the new release is a bundle of components that work together to deliver a seamless and integrated BI platform.

The 2008 version includes numerous performance enhancements that will enable the new version to address even larger data volumes at higher performance levels than before. In addition to performance enhancements come new functionality and ease-of-use enhancements that will appeal to new and existing SQL users.

For new deployments, SQL 2008’s new features and higher performance levels probably means there’s no reason to deploy older versions. For existing SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 customers, migration effort will depend on the specifics of each deployment, but the overall improvements will likely prove to make the migration worthwhile.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks??

While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Thanks!

Hi. I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my thanks. I've been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a ton of good information as well as enjoyed the way you've structured your site. I am attempting to run my own blog but I think its too general and I want to focus more on smaller topics. Being all things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be.


March 11. 2010 18:08

This is interesting, post more often! However, some of the comments people have made above are questionable, will think  more in depth


March 16. 2010 15:15
I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.
