SQL Server 2008 R2 released to manufacturing
The R2 refresh of Microsoft's flagship database
was completed and released to manufacturing today. SQL Server 2008 R2
boasts improved scalability, with support for up to 256 logical
processors, and easier centralized management of multiserver
deployments.
The major focus with the new release is Business Intelligence, with improved end-user accessible analysis features, richer report building, and a new feature called Master Data Services to improve management of mission-critical business data. Also new is an event-processing framework, StreamInsight, providing monitoring and analysis of streaming data sources like RFID sensors and Web server logs.
As is typical with RTM announcements, there's no word yet on when the software will actually reach distribution channels; expect Technet, MSDN, Software Assurance, and retail availability over the next few weeks.
