SQL Server – Announcements (new!) Madison: integration between SQL Server and DATAllegro, release expected within 1H Look at it if you have a datawarehouse of hudreds of Tb or more Kilimanjaro: a sort of “R2” version of SQL Server expected to be released within 1H It includes self-service analysis (project code Gemini) and self-service reporting Gemini: a column-based in-memory storage that seems to be part of Analysis Services (not so much details by now) and that can be used locally with Excel Excel "on stereoids": Gemini packaged as add-in for Excel. No model design required. Relationship is inferred by the engine, navigation tool is provided – evolution of PivotTable. Reports can be published on SharePoint. Excel looks like a reporting tool of the future
