Solution Overview

Your organization today faces numerous data challenges. You need your people to make faster and more data-driven decisions, your developers to be more productive and flexible, and your managers to reduce their overall information technology (IT) budgets even as they scale your infrastructure to meet ever-increasing demands.

SQL Server 2005 is designed to help enterprises address these challenges. This next-generation database management and analysis solution delivers increased security, scalability, and availability to enterprise data and analytical applications, while making them easier to build, deploy, and manage.
Extending the strengths of SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005 provides an integrated database management and analysis solution that can help your staff do the following:

1. Build, deploy, and manage enterprise applications that are more secure, scalable, and reliable.
2. Maximize IT productivity by reducing the complexity of developing and supporting database applications.
3. Share data across multiple platforms, applications, and devices to make it easier to connect internal and external systems.
4. Control costs without sacrificing performance, availability, scalability, or security.

SQL Server 2005 advances your data infrastructure in three key areas: it makes your enterprise data more manageable, your developers more productive, and your business intelligence (BI) more comprehensive. It also breaks new ground in affordable pricing and licensing, upgrade paths to SQL Server 2005, and the Microsoft Windows Server System.
