To remain competitive, enterprises must quickly gather real-time
intelligence to make informed business decisions. SQL Server 2014
delivers new in-memory capabilities built into the core database
for online transaction processing (OLTP) that massively speeds the
process to analyze real-time transaction data. SQL Server 2014
In-Memory OLTP combined with the Fusion-io cut through architecture
drives the highest performance level of transactions with the
simplest, most cost-effective approach compared to legacy
architectures.
"We have seen in-Memory OLTP capabilities in SQL Server 2014
provide tremendous performance improvements to business
applications," said Eron Kelly,
general manager, SQL Server product marketing, Microsoft. "Adding
the Fusion ioMemory platform to an existing SQL Server 2014
in-memory OLTP configuration can deliver up to 4x additional
performance gains, building on our in-memory innovation to provide
even greater performance benefits so customers can quickly uncover
valuable business insights from their data and transform their
business with greater scale at a low total cost of ownership."
"We are entering the age of in-memory databases and Microsoft's
adoption of in-memory OLTP is a critical step in that direction,"
said Lance Smith, Fusion-io
President and Chief Operating Officer. "SQL Server 2014 with Fusion
ioMemory provides a competitive advantage by allowing real-time
access to information, unparalleled performance gains on tasks and
a lower total cost of ownership."
Fusion-io flash memory products answer the expectation of
immediacy. A Fusion powered SQL Server 2014 In-Memory OLTP database
drives business impact by helping customers adapt more quickly to
ever-changing market conditions. Fusion ioMemory offers tens of
terabytes of high-performance flash per server to deliver real-time
business insights at a fraction of the cost of scaling out disks
for performance. Fusion-io's persistent, high capacity ioMemory
platform gives servers native access to flash memory to
significantly increase datacenter efficiency, with enterprise grade
performance, reliability, availability, and manageability.
The Fusion ioMemory platform is trusted by thousands of
customers around the world to accelerate mission critical
applications that power their businesses. SQL Server 2014 customers
that deploy Fusion ioMemory discover direct bottom-line impact on
their business by leveraging existing hardware investments without
sacrificing performance. Fusion-io also improves productivity and
enhances the overall user experience for enterprises by
accelerating SQL Server 2014 response times.
Fusion-io also supports Buffer Pool Extension, a new feature in
SQL Server 2014. With Buffer Pool Extension and low latency
Fusion-io flash memory, customers now have the ability to
drastically reduce the amount of user wait time throughout their
database environment. Fusion ioMemory seamlessly integrates into
the SQL Server 2014 Database Engine buffer pool to significantly
improve I/O throughput and reduce disk latency by offloading clean
data pages from traditional storage to flash.
Integration between Buffer Pool Extension in SQL Server 2014 and
the Fusion ioMemory platform increases database performance by
allowing solid-state storage to exist alongside dynamic
random-access memory (DRAM). Fusion memory-like performance helps
reduce costs by enabling organizations to scale with NAND flash
versus DRAM. The simplicity of Buffer Pool Extension and
performance of Fusion's flash technology not only makes Buffer Pool
Extension easy to implement, it also allows other applications to
reside on Fusion's ioMemory products which demand greater I/O.
Fusion-io will embark on a 35-city tour appearing at Microsoft
Technology Centers (MTCs) worldwide to showcase how Fusion ioMemory
products maximize SQL Server 2014. To learn more about the
