Technology industry leaders EMC Corporation and Microsoft Corp. have teamed to develop the largest Microsoft SQL Server (TM) storage area network (SAN) ever built. The joint engineering activity, conducted at Microsoft's SQL Server Labs in Redmond, Wash., resulted in a 45-terabyte configuration that included a simulated 10-terabyte human genomics database. The project highlights the scalability and flexibility of SQL Server 2000 and will be used to showcase total-cost-of-ownership, management and performance benefits of large-scale automated networked storage environments.
