Driving innovation through your enterprise starts with the solid foundation of an enterprise data management system and your key business data. This foundation helps you unleash your business potential through well-developed strategies based on a deep understanding of enterprise data, business trends, data anomalies, and other considerations.

SQL Server 2005 helps you deliver greater insight into your data through the following key services:

Analysis Services

Providing a unified and integrated view of your business data is the foundation for all your traditional reporting, online analytical processing, key performance indicator scorecards, and data mining. Analysis Services is the cornerstone of your business intelligence infrastructure.

Data Mining

You have a tremendous amount of business data and need to search for the trends that will help to drive your business in the correct strategic direction. SQL Server data mining tools will retrieve the data you need.

High Availability

High availability for SQL Server 2005 helps you plan and deploy a reliable data center by knowing how to anticipate and prevent component failures, power outages, user errors, application memory leaks, and other circumstances that can make a data center unavailable.

Integration Services

Managing an array of traditional and nontraditional data sources can be a challenge for even the most experienced IT team. SQL Server 2005 includes a robust integration platform that provides exceptional extract, transform, and load (ETL) and integration capabilities.

Java Database Connectivity

Benefit from better performance, provide greater optimization, gain more granular transaction support to enable more scalable transactions, and get deep support for the new SQL Server 2005 types with the new JDBC drivers for SQL Server.

Manageability

Making it simpler and easier to deploy, manage, and optimize enterprise data and analytical applications, SQL Server provides a single management console that enables data administrators anywhere in the organization to monitor, manage, and tune all of the databases and associated services across your enterprise.

Notification Services

Developing and deploying applications that generate and send notifications to users has not always been easy or inexpensive. SQL Server 2005 provides a notifications platform so that you can personalize notifications and send them to a variety of devices.

PHP Driver

The SQL Server Driver for PHP is designed to enable reliable, scalable integration with SQL Server for PHP applications deployed on the Windows platform.

Reporting Services

Getting the right information into the hands of the right people has been a challenge since database systems began. As part of your business intelligence platform, with SQL Server 2005, you can now extend your reach to the information workers who need access to business data.
