REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Microsoft Corp. today announced SQL Server Fast Track Data Warehouse, a new set of reference architectures for data warehousing that will help eliminate many of the barriers companies traditionally face while creating data warehouses. For as little as $13,000 per terabyte, SQL Server Fast Track Data Warehouse gives customers immediate access to pretested, preconfigured industry-standard hardware from partners Bull, Dell and HP that increases Microsoft SQL Server 2008 scalability up to 32 terabytes, and helps reduce the time and effort necessary to deploy mission-critical projects. In addition, Microsoft is partnering with systems integrators Avanade, Cognizant Technology Solutions, HP and Hitachi Consulting Corp. to provide solution templates specially tailored for the new reference architectures.

I was doing some datawarehouse research and found this article talking about what Microsoft are offering, I think we’ll see some smart technologies and development from Microsoft going foward, I wonder if we’ll see anything for the small/medium business sectors particularly when it comes to systems management and virtualization.
