SQL Server Integration Services ( SSIS ) Architecture
SSIS is a component of SQL Server 2005/2008 and is successor of DTS (Data Transformation Services) which had been in SQL Server 7.0/2000. Though from end-user perspective DTS and SSIS looks similar to each to some extent, it is not the case in actual. SSIS has been completely written from the scratch (it’s a new enterprise ETL product altogether) and hence it overcomes the several limitations of DTS.
I have written an article covering SSIS architecure and how it is different from DTS. Understanding these things will let you understand internal of SSIS or how SSIS actually works.
