A Growing Family of Solutions by HP and Microsoft

HP and Microsoft have partnered for more than year to jointly deliver optimized hardware and software solutions never seen before with SQL Server and a hardware vendor. HP and Microsoft engineers have worked together for months optimizing new solutions for data warehousing, BI and database consolidation. Today we are proud to announce two new additions to the Microsoft portfolio:

• “HP Business Data Warehouse Appliance, Optimized for SQL Server 2008 R2” an appliance optimized for data warehouses up to 5TB, and
• “HP Database Consolidation Solution, Optimized for SQL Server 2008 R2”, a new reference architecture of Hyper-V and SQL Server to help customers get very high performance database consolidation solutions.
