Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Performance and Scalability Testing Using NetApp FAS920 Storage Systems

Overview The new release of the Microsoft SQL Server contains numerous enhancements designed to improve both overall performance and the ability to scale effectively as more storage systems are added to the configuration. This paper details two series of performance tests, run jointly by Microsoft and Network Appliance, which were designed to determine the effectiveness of the Decision Support System (DSS) enhancements in SQL Server 2005. Testing reveals significant gains in performance of SQL Server 2005 when compared with SQL Server 2000, as well as dramatic increases in scalability when more CPU resources are added to the configuration.
