SQL Server StreamInsight

What is CEP?Complex Event Processing (CEP) is the continuous and incremental processing of event streams from multiple sources based on declarative query and pattern specifications with near-zero latency.

Database Applications

Event-driven Applications

Query Paradigm

Ad-hoc queries or requests

Continuous standing queries

Latency Seconds, hours, days Milliseconds or less

CEP Application Development

Development experience with .NET, C#, LINQ and Visual Studio 2008

CEP platform from Microsoft to build event-driven applications

Event-driven applications are fundamentally

different from traditional database applications: queries are continuous, consume and produce streams, and compute results incrementally

Flexible adapter SDK with high

performance to connect to different event sources and

sinks

The CEP platform does the heavy lifting for you

to deal with temporal characteristics of event

stream data

SQL Server Scalability

• New Max Specs• TPC Benchmarks

Single-system scalabilityImproved performance (parallelization)Industry trend – soon industry standard servers with 8CPU will have 128 logical processorsIncreased flexibility in deployment (Single vs. Multiple Instance)

We have customers who really need to scale up!

Why scale up?

Master Data Services

Wikipedia

Master data management (MDM) comprises a set of processes and tools that consistently defines and manages the non-transactional data entities of an organization.

What is Master Data Management?

mistakes, incorrect reports
