Parallel Data Warehouse at a glance

Shared-nothing parallel database system Massively parallel processing (MPP) A “Control” server that accepts user queries,

generates a plan, and distributes operations in parallel to compute nodes

Multiple “Compute” servers running SQL ServerDelivered as an appliance Balanced and pre-configured hardware and software Scales from 2 to 56 Nodes Fastest Time to Market

Base Unit (1/4 Rack)

All hosts and VM’s run Windows Server 2012 Standard All Fabric and workload

activity happens in Hyper-V virtual machines, with Fabric VM’s sharing 1 server

Failover is handled by Hyper-V

Conclusion

SQL Server 2012 Parallel Data Warehouse is an MPP based appliance optimized for data warehouse workload Very Similar to a regular SQL Server,

but T-SQL not 100 % identical Support for development via SQL Server Data Tools

Scalable, balanced platform Not just storage (data + CPU power)

Central part of Microsoft BI stack Well integrated in Microsoft management tools
