微软新数据库向Oracle宣战

Microsoft takes on Oracle

MICROSOFT WILL REPORTEDLY begin adapting SQL servers to support hundreds of terabytes of data.

The server extensions are based on technology acquired from Datallegro, a developer of large-volume data warehouse appliances. According to the Vole, Datallegro's products will allow it to surpass Oracle's capabilities and compete with other high-end enterprise data warehousing solutions.

The Redmond giant plans to initially offer community technology previews and expects to begin distribution of a commercial version by the first half of 2010. Microsoft will also retain the majority of Datallegro's staff at its headquarters in Aliso Viejo, California.

The Datallegro v3 warehouse appliance is currently priced at under $500,000 for 12 terabytes and includes hardware, rack, networking and a 15TB capacity backup server. The unit, which is capable scanning data at up to 10.5TB/minute, utilises EMC storage, Dell servers, Cisco Infiniband switches, Intel multi-core CPUs and the Ingres Open Source database.

 

微软即将发布一项SQL服务器技术，可以解决超大容量数据库的处理问题。
这项扩展技术是从收购Datallegro那得来的。据微软方面表示，拥有了这项技术，微软的SQL服务器已经在性能上超越了Oracle，并且可以和任何一个高端数据库服务器品牌对抗。

微软将首先向社区提供一个技术预览版，而商业性的版本则要等到2010年第一季度了。当然，Datallegro的原管理团队也将得到保留。

Datallegro目前提供售价50万美元的Datallegro v3数据库套装，拥有15TB储存容量，每分钟能检测10.5GB数据，配备EMC储存产品、Dell服务器、Cisco的交换设备、Intel的多核处理器。
