Microsoft SQL Server® 2008 contains a variety of features that, when implemented properly, can improve the performance of a Microsoft Dynamics® CRM 4.0 implementation and secure the data within that deployment. These Microsoft SQL Server 2008 features include: - Compression - Filtered Indexes - Sparse Columns - Transparent Data Encryption - Backup Compression The MS CRM E2 team, working in conjunction with the Microsoft SQL Server team, recently completed a project that was designed to: 1. Evaluate the new scenarios that these Microsoft SQL Server 2008 features expose 2. Measure the performance impact of implementing these features, both singly and in selected combinations This paper provides an overview of these Microsoft SQL Server 2008 features, together with benchmark results and recommendations for implementation.

About the author

I work for a consulting firm in Dublin Ohio called Affiliated Resource Group. For the last five years I have been spearheading our Microsoft Dynamics CRM practice. I have a deep appreciation for the Microsoft CRM platform and I am very excited about it. You might even describe me as a Microsoft CRM Advocate. I have many battle scars from my experience with the product and I’m constantly being asked questions about CRM and how-to-do something in it. Hence, this BLOG is to help disseminate that knowledge and information to everyone. As of last year I was posting links to many other blogs to help spread the knowledge, but now with the community.dynamics.com doing that for me, I will be following that practice unless a really juicy article catches my eye. Many people have asked where my post are for the first half of 2010, my company had me posting to another blog and maintain two was near impossible. I am now down to just this blog. So good luck and I hope that this blog may help in some way. If you have suggestions or questions, please email me them.
