E N D
RSS integration with SharePointWhat’s New • Elimination of IIS http://blogs.msdn.com/bwelcker/archive/2007/12/04/everybody-why-leave-iis.aspx • Performance Enhancements • makes fewer calls to the SharePoint Object Model on each report-rendering request • Passing SharePoint User Token • new server interface (IRSSetUserToken) allows retrieving of data from a site by using SharePoint credentials • Data-driven subscriptions and job management on report servers configured for SharePoint integrated mode • Support for Multiple SharePoint Zones
Proactive Monitoring • Performance Data Warehouse • Performance Data Collector
Multi-Server Management • Gain insight into resource utilization through policy evaluation • Manage Servers as groups
Multi-Server Management (R2 EE) • Provides dashboard and drill down utilization views of instances and applications • Gain insight into resource utilization through policy evaluation and analysis of trending instances and applications—streamlining consolidation efforts • A new single unit of deployment, Data-tier Application, packages database schema (database, tables, stored procedures, etc)
Backup Compression • Set Backup Compression at the Server Level • all backups including those made with the SharePoint UI or with STSADM will be compressed.
Database Mirroring • Performance improvements • Auto recovery of corrupted pages
Security • Common Criteria Compliance • Residual Information Protection (RIP) • The ability to view login statistics • That column GRANT should not override table DENY
Auditing SQL Server Audit was designed with the following primary goals in mind: • Enables compliance with security regulations • Simple configuration using SQL Server Management Studio • First class object that can be created and manipulated by DDL • Minimal impact on performance because audit data is stored outside of SQL Server database files
Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) • TDE operates at the I/O level through the buffer pool. Thus, any data that is written into the database file (*.mdf) is encrypted. • All snapshots and backups created by the database will be encrypted by TDE
Extensible Key Management (EKM) Allows for key management with third-party enterprise key management products
Policy-based Management • Define configuration policies and apply them to servers, databases, tables, and other targets • Enforce policies proactively, on a scheduled basis, on change, or real-time • Apply policies to the groups of servers
Resource Governor • Control resource utilization (CPU and memory) • Ensure mission-critical database workloads are not adversely affected by other database activity
Resource Governor CREATE FUNCTION adhocQueryClassifier() RETURNS SYSNAME WITH SCHEMABINDING AS BEGIN DECLARE @grp_name AS SYSNAME IF (APP_NAME() LIKE '%MANAGEMENT STUDIO%') OR (APP_NAME() LIKE '%QUERY ANALYZER%') SET @grp_name = 'groupAdhoc' RETURN @grp_name END GO
Gemini • SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services brings large scale data analytics to the Office 2010 desktop, with full SharePoint integration so that you can share and manage your data from SharePoint sites.
Filestream Data • FILESTREAM is a new feature in the SQL Server 2008 release. It allows structured data to be stored in the database and associated unstructured (i.e., BLOB) data to be stored directly in the NTFS file system. You can then access the BLOB data through the high-performance Win32® streaming APIs, rather than having to pay the performance penalty of accessing BLOB data through SQL Server. • FILESTREAM maintains transactional consistency between the structured and unstructured data at all times, even allowing point-in-time recovery of FILESTREAM data using log backups. Consistency is maintained automatically by SQL Server and does not require any custom logic in the application.
