Data warehousing reference configurations from HP and Microsoft

The speed at which you can implement your data warehouse solutions can be critical to your success in a competitive market. And the time required to design, purchase and deploy these systems can have a significant impact on your ROI.

HP helps you capitalize on information to optimize business outcomes by defining data warehousing reference configurations that help simplify deployment of the Microsoft® Business Intelligence (BI) technologies that ship with SQL Server.

The reference configurations define a set of high confidence hardware and software combinations that are based on performance testing carried out in HP solution labs.

Integrity-based Data Warehousing configurations

ProLiant-based Data Warehousing configurations

HP has developed a set of sizer tools to assist customers in evaluating these configurations for other variations that may better fit their business and to quantify the server and storage resources necessary to deliver business intelligence solutions. The HP Business Intelligence Sizer for Microsoft SQL Server 2005, available at here, determines the appropriate hardware configuration for database servers used in a Relational Online Analytical Processing environment along with sizing the extract, transformation, and load layer using SQL Server 2005 Integration Services. A SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services component will be added to the sizer this fall.

Looking Ahead: Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 provides a trusted, productive, and intelligent data platform that enables you to run your most demanding mission critical applications, reduce time and cost of development and management of applications, and deliver actionable insight to your entire organization.
