This Winter Corporation analysis of SQL Server achievements indicates proven scalability gains as deployments reach more than 10 terabytes in a single instance of SQL Server. Review the results of the Winter Corporation. TopTen Program, surveying the world's largest and most heavily used databases. These results provide validation that Windows and SQL Server have gained greater acceptance by users for challenging database implementations, and have improved in reliability and availability characteristics. See how SQL Server appears prominently in the TopTen (All Environments) list for online transaction processing (OLTP) systems, and learn more about user projections foretelling an increasing presence for SQL Server in the TopTen lists for decision support systems (DSSes).
