"SQL Server 2008 is the only major database that includes comprehensive, tightly integrated functionality for data management as well as advanced business intelligence out of the box. By offering a complete solution, we save customers time and money and allow them to focus on deriving the most value from their data assets," added Kummert.

The company also claims excellent benchmark results for SQL Server 2008. It is said to be "the first and only database management system to be proven capable of delivering scalable results on TPC-E, the Transaction Processing Performance Council’s (TPC) newest and most challenging online transaction processing (OLTP) benchmark".

Other examples include a new extract, transform and load (ETL) record that saw one terabyte of data loaded in less than 30 minutes on Unisys hardware, and a new record on four-socket industry-standard blade servers in a three-tier SAP Sales and Distribution standard application benchmark.
