Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008

Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 is scalable, cost-effective, data management software that helps unlock the power of your company's data assets. Whether you're offering mission-critical, highly available applications or shared hosting solutions, SQL Server 2008 takes affordability, scalability, manageability, and programmability to a new level. Four Microsoft SQL Server 2008 editions are designed to meet your Web hosting needs: Web, Standard, Enterprise, and Express.

Low total cost of ownership

Competitively priced SQL Server 2008 database software helps increase overall profit margins, publishing tools facilitate faster customer deployment, and tools for Policy-Based Management and performance data collection reduce administration costs. Save even more by installing SQL Server 2008 on a Hyper-V™–based server: Licensing SQL Server 2008 Enterprise to the host partition allows you to use it on all the guests. This way you can divide the licensing costs among all guests.

Highly scalable

With the Web and Enterprise editions, scale your business with unlimited memory support or database size. SQL Server 2008 supports multiple CPUs: 32 CPUs for Enterprise and 4 CPUs for Web

Powerful programmability

Already compatible with popular PHP open source applications, SQL Server offers built-in support for PHP applications as well as seamless interoperability with the Microsoft .NET environment. The ADO.NET Entity Framework helps increase developer productivity, and new LINQ extensions revolutionize how developers query data. Also included is support for basic to advanced data types, including spatial, date/time, word documents, videos, and images. This helps you meet a variety of customer application requirements.

Business intelligence

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) with built-in business intelligence is included in SQL Server 2008, making it possible to create unique layouts and use the new visualization enhancements to further enrich your reports.

Editions of Microsoft SQL Server 2008

From the basic capabilities needed for a shared hosting platform requiring support for Microsoft .NET and PHP technologies, to Hyper-V–based virtual servers, to the sophisticated needs of a dedicated server, SQL Server 2008 can accommodate and grow with your data management needs.

Enterprise

An enterprise-class data platform for your advanced hosted application needs such as online transaction processing and data warehousing applications. Advanced security capabilities such as transparent data encryption help secure data without modifying applications. Audits can be defined to automatically record activity in log files, the Windows® Application Log, or the Windows Security Log. Sophisticated built-in business intelligence makes it possible to add rich reporting capabilities to your applications, and then share them through Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server 2007 and other tools. For even more advanced reporting needs and powerful analysis, use SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) to create highly customized reports for actionable insights into your data.
