Optimized And Predictable Performance
• Scaling and Performance– Reduce storage costs and improve
query performance via compression– Faster query processing
• Predictable Performance– Ensure consistent query performance– Manage concurrent workloads on
single system– Prevent runaway queries
• Simplified Performance Tuning– Monitor your system by collecting and
storing system events– Analyze and report on your system

Productive Policy-based Management of Your Infrastructure
• Spend less time on ongoing operations– Manage via policies instead of scripts– Define enterprise-wide system mgmt policies– Automated policy verification, enforcement
• Integrated with enterprise system mgmt– Manage your system infrastructure with Microsoft
System Center– Define policies aligned with Service Modeling
Language Platform (formerly SDM)• Simplified installation and configuration
– Sysprep – distinct install and configuration steps– Embeddable installation– Slipstream support: e.g. combine RTM, SP1, QFE

Accelerate YourDevelopment With Entities
• Develop with business entities– Define your business entities– Model your complex business
relationships– Retrieve and work with entities
instead of rows and columns– Bridge the impedance mismatch
between programming languages and data languages
– Program against relational data with objects
– Support for client-side stores: SQL-CE

Store and Consume any type of data
• Standard Date and Time types• Rich Semi-Structured Data Support
– Better XSD support– Store and index sparse data efficiently
• Find your data quickly– Query efficiently across relational, text data
• Build location-aware applications– Planar and Round-earth models
• Remove DBMS v/s File-system trade-off for Unstructured data– Build rich-data applications that span
structured, semi-structured and unstructured data
– DB consistency with FS performance
