Information
management, access, and delivery platforms such as Microsoft's SQL Server 2008
lie at the heart of many organizations' IT infrastructures, and these platforms
are available from a number of vendors. But one of the ways in which Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 stands out from other vendors' offerings is the sheer number of
features the platform includes that enable your organization to cut its IT
related costs significantly.
Here are eight ways that
SQL Server 2008 can help your organization save money:
1. Reduce your
hardware, power and licensing costs though virtualization
Using
Microsoft's Hyper-V hypervisor it's easy to virtualize SQL Server 2008 servers
and run multiple SQL Server 2008 virtual machines on a single physical machine.
That means less physical hardware needs to be purchased and maintained, you
spend less on power and cooling, and you free up valuable data center space.
You can also make significant savings on licensing costs too. That's because
you need only one Windows license and one SQL Server 2008 license per physical
processor running in each host server, regardless of the number of virtual
machines that run in them.
2. Cut data and backup storage costs with compression
SQL Server 2008 can save you money on disk hardware, reducing your
storage requirements by as much as two-thirds using data compression to
compress tables, hardware indexes, and partitions. It can also reduce backup
storage requirements (and costs) significantly using backup compression to
store backups more efficiently — while actually speeding them up by reducing
the number of writes needed to complete them.
3. Slash your administration overheads using automation
Freeing IT staff from routine database maintenance tasks by using
automation saves money and enables IT staffers to be redeployed to more
productive tasks. The SQL Server Agent service can be set up to execute many
scheduled administrative tasks such as index management and back up
automatically, notifying you in the event of a problem. Alternatively, you can
automate your own complex tasks by using Microsoft's PowerShell command-line
shell to write custom management scripts. You can also use SQL Server 2008's
Policy-Based Management to implement and maintain policy compliance for all
your databases and servers — or bring them into compliance — with a minimum of
manual intervention.
4. Reduce purchasing requirements by optimizing hardware with the Resource
Governor
Contention between applications for server CPU and memory resources
can lead to application performance that is sluggish, or that varies widely at
peak usage times — especially on older hardware. The Resource Governor, new to
SQL Server 2008, helps solve this problem by enabling you to give priority to
your business-critical applications and to limit the resources that other
workload groups can be allocated. This helps eliminate runaway queries and
ensures that your business-critical applications always offer acceptable
performance levels without the need to spend money upgrading your severs.
5. Save money by consolidating your systems
Using SQL Server 2008's multi-database support you can consolidate
databases with similar security and compatibility requirements into a single
SQL Server 2008 instance, using the Resource Governor to ensure that all your
databases run according to your performance requirements. If you have databases
with different security or compatibility requirements you can also cut costs
using SQL Server 2008's multi-instance support to consolidate up to 50
instances of SQL Server onto a single physical server. In addition to reducing
hardware costs you can make significant license cost savings this way because
only one SQL Server license is needed for each processor, regardless of how
many SQL Server 2008 instances are installed.
6. Reduce lost revenue from downtime thanks to high availability
System downtime means lost revenue for many organizations, and in
many cases every second counts. SQL Server 2008 has been developed using a
number of technologies that aim to minimize both planned and unplanned
stoppages, including rock solid 16-node clustering, database mirroring, peer-to-peer
replication, online backup and restore, and support for hot-swapping failing
hardware.
7. Enterprise class Business Intelligence (BI) at no extra
cost
Good decision making requires access to the right information, and
good BI systems rarely come cheap. But SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition saves
you unnecessary expenditure because it includes a full BI and integration
platform to go with the enterprise-class database system at no extra cost.
Using SQL Server 2008 Integration Services, Analysis Services, and the database
engine it's even possible to build a complete data warehouse solution using the
SQL Server 2008 platform.
8. Save on your security infrastructure using the secure SQL Server platform
Protecting your systems and data can be extremely expensive, and the
cost of losing your data or having it compromised by malicious intruders can be
even higher. SQL Server 2008 has been designed from the ground up to be secure,
offering a minimum attack surface to hackers. It also includes built-in support
for transparent data encryption (without expensive custom client application
development) to help keep your data safe and minimizing the risk of revenue
loss or liability costs from compromised data.
SQL
Server goes beyond relational data structures, supporting XML, spatial, and
unstructured data. That means that if you need to support these kinds of data
structures as your organization develops you can do so without any additional
outlay. It's an example of how, while SQL Server 2008 can help your business
reduce its IT costs immediately, it's also been designed to continue saving you
money well into the future as well.
