 With enhanced support for 64 bit addressing in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 organisations are beginning to investigate how they can leverage this new database to lower IT infrastructure costs and improve service levels for key applications. Some of the major themes of SQL Server 2008 include enhanced integration of key facilities such as security, rich data types, and improved performance and scalability. These capabilities can help lower costs by enabling organisations to more easily consolidate physical servers as well as database instances. Advances in multi-core 64bit servers, such as the HP Integrity servers featuring Intel chip sets, provide the scalability and reliability required for the most demanding OLTP ERP applications as well as enterprise scale business intelligence data warehouses.
Through independent tests based upon the costs associated with hardware, software, networking, administration, facilities and implementation the use of Integrity can yield a reduced TCO of HP Integrity Server Family up to 12.4% over a typical three year period (source Alinean).
With the introduction of highly scalable enterprise class Intel Itanium based servers there are several benefits of server consolidation. Organisations can now economically upgrade to much more scalable
servers with greater processing power for high volume transaction processing applications and increased memory access for large decision support databases. Server consolidation provides an opportunity to leverage the flexibility of larger systems for multiple applications, which can significantly improve server resource utilisation.
So through leveraging the strong partnership between HP and Microsoft you not only provide high availability but also provide a compelling TCO model too.
