Build Enterprise-Scale Solutions

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services is designed to provide
exceptional performance and scales to support applications with millions of
records and thousands of users. Innovative, consolidated tools help improve
developer productivity and result in better design and faster implementation.


SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services introduces a set of new,
innovative Best Practice Design Alerts that provide automatic
notification of potential design issues early in the development
process, which reduces wasted time caused by design mistakes and
facilitates a faster development process.

Scalable Infrastructure

Analysis Services can scale to support databases of many terabytes
in size with many thousands of users.

SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services provides Dynamic Management
Views similar to those available to the database engine.
MS. SQL Server 2008
Microsoft
Superior Performance

Analysis Services cubes are multidimensional structures and stores
bussiness data in a highly optimized and compressed format called
Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP).

AS can improve query performance by orders of magnitude and
therefore allow a finer granularity of analysis.
MS. SQL Server 2008
Microsoft
Superior Performance

SQL Server provides attribute-based hierarchies that avoid the need
for any duplication and improve performance and scalability.

SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services allows writeback data to be
stored in MOLAP format resulting in significantly better performance
for query and writeback operations.

AS prevent users from overloading the relational database by
providing a high performance, transparent, synchronized aggregate
cache.
MS. SQL Server 2008
Microsoft
Extend Solutions with Comprehensive Analytics

Analysis Services takes the analytical platform to a new level offering more
advanced features than those traditionally related to OLAP. This enables
organizations to accommodate multiple analytical needs within one solution
offering so much more than a traditional OLAP platform. In this effort, the
Unified Dimensional Model (UDM) plays a central role, providing extensive
analytical capabilities.

Unified Dimensional Model

The UDM was a new concept for Analysis Services that was introduced with
the release of SQL Server 2005. The UDM provides an intermediate logical
layer between the physical relational database used as the data source and
the proprietary cube and dimension structures that are used to resolve user
queries.

In this way, you can think of the UDM as the centerpiece of the OLAP
solution.
MS. SQL Server 2008
Microsoft
Central Manageability of Key Enterprise Metrics

In SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services enterprise wide Key Performance
Indicators (KPI’s) can be centrally stored and managed.

This provides a central repository for users to access key enterprise metrics
through a variety of applications including Microsoft Office
PerformancePoint Server 2007, Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft
Office SharePoint Services 2007, and Microsoft SQL Server Reporting
Services.
MS. SQL Server 2008
Microsoft
Predictive Analysis

Traditional data analysis looks at historical data and quickly returns
results based on this data.

However, many questions asked by business users cannot be
answered by this sort of analysis as they are not looking for the
results of what has happened, but instead they are looking for
predictions of what might happen.

Predictive Analysis
Microsoft SQL Server Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007:
The Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007 empowers end users to perform
advanced analysis directly in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Visio.
There are three individual components:
 Data Mining Client for Excel enables you to create and manage an entire
Analysis Services data mining project from within Excel 2007.
 Table Analysis Tools for Excel enables you to use the powerful Analysis
Services data mining capabilities to analyze data stored in Excel spreadsheets.
 Data Mining Templates for Visio enables you to render decision trees,
regression trees, cluster diagrams, and dependency nets in Visio diagrams.

2. Reporting Service

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services provides a complete serverbased platform that is designed to support a wide variety of reporting needs
including managed enterprise reporting, ad-hoc reporting, embedded
reporting, and web based reporting to enable organizations to deliver
relevant information where needed across the entire enterprise.

Reporting Services 2008 provides the tools and features necessary to
author a variety of richly formatted reports from a wide range of data
sources and provides a comprehensive set of familiar tools used to manage
and secure an enterprise reporting solution.

3. Intergration Services



SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) helps Information
Technology departments to meet data integration requirements in
their enterprises.
SQL Server 2008 Integration Services meets the challenges of
cleansing, transforming, and mapping multiple data sources with
large volumes into a useful format.
New features improve its ability to scale up and improve
performance while speeding development and lowering the TCO.

•As illustrated in Figure , with
increased staging the time taken
to “close the loop,” (i.e., to
analyze, and take action on new
data) increases as well. These
traditional ELT architectures (as
opposed to value-added ETL
processes that occur prior to
loading) impose severe

SSIS for data transfer operations

SQL Server 2008 Integration Services has an improved wizard that
uses ADO.NET, has an improved user interface,
performs automatic
data type conversions,
and is more scalable
than previous versions.
MS. SQL Server 2008
Microsoft
SSIS for data warehouse loading

SQL Server 2008 includes support for Change Data Capture (CDC).

SSIS can consume data from (and load data into) a variety of
sources including managed (ADO.NET), OLE DB, ODBC, flat file,
Microsoft Office Excel®, and XML by using a specialized set of
components called adapters.

SSIS and Data Quality

One of the key features of SSIS, as well as its ability to integrate data, is its ability
to integrate different technologies to manipulate the data. This has allowed SSIS
to include innovative “fuzzy logic”–based data cleansing components.

SSIS deeply integrates with the data mining functionality in Analysis Services.
Data mining abstracts out the patterns in a dataset and encapsulates them in a
mining model.

Support for complex data routing in SSIS helps you to not only identify
anomalous data, but also to automatically correct it and replace it with better
values. This enables “closed loop” cleansing scenarios

SSIS, the Integration Platform

SSIS goes beyond being an ETL tool not only in terms of enabling
nontraditional scenarios, but also in being a true platform for data
integration. SSIS is part of the SQL Server Business Intelligence (BI)
platform that enables the development of end-to-end BI applications.

SQL Server Integration Services, Analysis Services, and Reporting

development environment called the SQL Server Business
Intelligence (BI) Development Studio. BI Development Studio
provides an integrated development environment (IDE) for BI
application development.
