7. Encrypt data and log files Protect backup files and detached database files Transparent to application No application modifications required to take advantage of encryption Secure with Database Encryption Key (DEK); DEK encrypted with A password Service Master Key Can use a Hardware Security Module (HSM) to store keys Use encrypted data in another server Import DEK to new server Attach encrypted database files Restore an encrypted backup SQL Server 2008 DEK Client Application ata Encrypted Data Page

8. Protect Data Access

9. Help protect your data with transparent data encryption Applications do not need to be aware of the encryption Data is highly protected because encrypted database files cannot be read without the Database Encryption Key Encryption keys can be exported and imported to trusted servers

10. Create an Audit object Automatically log actions Log To various formats A file, the Windows Application Log, or the Windows Security Log Create an audit specification Include server and database actions in an audit Predefined action groups Individual action filters

11. Define security policies Define audit, access policies by using Policy Management Framework Authentication standard Password policies Define surface area configurations as policies Apply across the enterprise Using Configuration Servers Helps to ensure enterprise-wide compliance

12. Simplify Compliance Secure Access Trustworthy Computing Granular Authorisation Data Encryption Rich Authentication Auditing Secure Configurations Protect Data Principals and Securables Roles Catalog Security Execution Context User Schema Separation Kerberos/NTLM Password Policy Enforcement End Point Authentication Encrypted Login Credentials Single Sign-On Native Cryptographic Capabilities Transparent Data Encryption Extensible Key Management Enterprise-wide Security Policies Security Updates Surface Area Minimised All Actions Audited Audit Actions to File, Windows Application Log, and Windows Security log Capture and Audit DDL Activities

18. Optimise performance Manage mixed workloads Scale performance Ensure system availability Minimise planned downtime Concurrent data access Secure data access Protect your system Simplify compliance Mission-Critical Applications

19. Optimise performance Data compression Enhanced partitioning DW query optimisations Improved indexed views Performance data collection (covered in manageability section) Manage mixed workloads Resource Governor Scale up/scale out

20. Storage cost savings Shrink large tables such as DW fact tables Improves query performance Results in less I/O but with some CPU cost Achieves a 2x to 7x compression ratio Independent of other features Works for data and indexes

21. Improved recognition of Star Join pattern in queries Enhanced rules to generate query plan alternatives Improved costing of Star Join plans

22. Resource Management Allocate resources Assign logins to workloads Map workloads to resources Define limits Prevent run-away queries Conduct online maintenance Prioritise your workloads Define priorities Dynamic re-allocation Backup Admin Tasks Continuous Loading ExecReports Ad-hoc Reports Report Workload OLTP Workload Admin Workload Admin Pool Application Pool Min Memory 10% Max Memory 20% Max CPU 20% Max CPU 90%

23. Managed Mixed Workloads

24. Using Resource Governor Configure the Resource Governor by using T-SQL or Management Studio Monitor the Resource Governor by using Management Studio and DMVs Change resource pool limits online and observe the change in real time

26. Growing product capabilities Increased management complexity Data volumes and users continue to grow Need relevant information for tuning and optimisation Data centre consolidation and virtualisation Increased need for management scalability

27. Manageability Multi-server management Visual administration Program tasks Consolidate performance information Report relevant insights Tune with best practices Define configurations Automate compliance Integrate with systems management
