Der Inhalt im Originaltext:
SQL Server 2008 R2, like its predecessors, is more than a database engine It is a collection of components that you can implement either separately or as a group
to form a scalable data platform In broad terms, this data platform consists of two types of components—those that help you manage data and those that help
you deliver business intelligence (BI) Accordingly, we have divided this book into two parts to focus on the new capabilities for each of these areas
Part I, “Database Administration,” is written with the DBA in mind and introduces readers to the numerous innovations in SQL Server 2008 R2 Chapter 1, “SQL
Server 2008 R2 Editions and Enhancements,” discusses the key enhancements, what’s new in the different editions of SQL Server 2008 R2, and the benefits of
running SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 In Chapter 2, “Multi-Server Administration,” readers learn how centralized management capabilities are improved with the introduction of the SQL Server Utility Control Point Step-by-step instructions show DBAs how to quickly designate a SQL Server instance as a Utility Control Point and enroll instances for centralized multi-server management Chapter 3, “Data-Tier Applications,” focuses on how to streamline deployment and manage and upgrade database applications with the new data-tier application feature Chapter 4, “High Availability and Virtualization Enhancements,” covers high availability enhancements and includes step-by-step implementations for ensuring business continuity with SQL Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Hyper-V Live Migration Finally, in Chapter 5, “Consolidation and Monitoring,” a discussion on consolidation strategies teaches readers how to improve resource optimization This chapter also explains how to use the new dashboard and viewpoints to gain insight into application and database utilization, and it also covers how to use capacity policy violations to help identify consolidation opportunities, maximize investments, and ultimately maintain healthier systems.In Part II, “Business Intelligence Development,” readers discover components new to the SQL Server data platform, as well as significant enhancements to the reporting component Chapter 6, “Scalable Data Warehousing,” introduces the data warehouse appliance known as SQL Server 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse by explaining its architecture, reviewing data layout strategies for optimal query performance, and describing the integration points with SQL Server BI components In Chapter 7, “Master Data Services,” readers learn about master data management concepts and the new Master Data Services component Chapter 8, “Complex Event Processing with StreamInsight,” describes scenarios that benefit from complex event analysis, and it illustrates how to develop applications that use the SQL Server StreamInsight engine for complex event processing Chapter 9, “Reporting Services Enhancements,” reviews all the new features available in SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services that support self-service reporting and address common report design problems Last, Chapter 10, “Self-Service Analysis with PowerPivot,” continues the theme of self-service by explaining how users can
integrate disparate data for analysis by using SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel, and how to centralize and share the results of this analysis by using SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint.
