SQL Server
2008 delivers on Microsoft’s Data Platform vision by helping your
organization manage any data, any place, any time. Store data from
structured, semi-structured, and unstructured documents, such as images
and rich media, directly within the database. SQL Server 2008 delivers a
rich set of integrated services that enable you to do more with your
data such as query, search, synchronize, report, and analyze.
SQL Server 2008 provides the highest levels of security, reliability,
and scalability for your business-critical applications. To take
advantage of new opportunities in today's fast-moving business world,
companies need the ability to create and deploy data-driven solutions
quickly. SQL Server 2008 reduces time and cost of management and
development of applications.
Access data from across your enterprise and provide control over your
data no matter where it’s stored—from the largest servers within the
data center to desktops to mobile devices. SQL Server 2008 provides a
comprehensive platform that delivers intelligence where your users want
it. Information workers can access data directly using the tools they
use every day, such as the 2007 Microsoft Office system.
SQL Server 2008 enables data to be consumed from custom applications
developed using Microsoft .NET and Visual Studio and from within
service-oriented architectures (SOA) and business processes through
Microsoft BizTalk Server. |
