SQL Server 2008 Administration in Action $37.28 SQL Server 2008 Administration isn’t a standard SQL Server tutorial-there are dozens of those to choose from. Instead, this book breaks down the role of "SQL Server Administrator" into its key focus areas and tasks and details the techniques and best practices that make an administrator effective. In this book, a reader can quickly identify a task and find the best practice associated with it. For example, a reader looking for information about indexing would find step-by-step procedures for identifying and dropping unused indexes, creating missing indexes, selecting the appropriate clustered index, and so forth. Each technique is presented in a clear, straightforward style and in the order of the typical lifecycle of a SQL Server system. This allows a reader to easily open the book at the appropriate page and focus on what you need to know for each specific situation. While most techniques will work for all versions of SQL Server, this book is current for the recent final release of SQL Server 2008. |

SQL Server Optimization: When To Scale
There comes a time in every database production environment when you must decide whether or not to scale hardware systems. Many factors, including budgets and timeframes, make the decision even harder. One of the most important decisions is whether to scale up or scale out.
To scale up means moving databases and applications to bigger and better hardware with more powerful processors, greater amounts of memory, and faster disk drives. High levels of system resource use may require you to scale up your production environment to ensure optimum end user experiences.

Scaling out means to implement the use of federated servers where data is partitioned or replicated across them. For instance, you could partition CRM or ERP functionality on separate servers and partition horizontal data across various databases.
Stop Right There: SQL Server Performance Tuning
Prior to making that final decision on scaling up or scaling out, make sure that it is necessary. Adequate SQL Server performance tuning efforts can help you make that decision. Numerous scalability and performance difficulties can be relieved with the proper SQL server optimization efforts. Scaling up or out should not be done until applications and SQL Server databases have been optimized using historical trend and wait-time performance data.
Many bottlenecks in performance like unprepared SQL statements, substandard indexes, and inefficient locking that contribute to greater workloads for CPUs and memory input/out use can be fixed with SQL server optimization instead of scaling up hardware systems.
The Question: To Scale Up or Out
When each application and database has been optimized and performance issues still arise, you must then determine if it is time to scale up or out. The first solution is to scale up. Even though scaling up may require significant expenditures, it is easier and more efficient than scaling out. Scaling up includes replacing slow hardware components with newer, faster ones and/or adding more hardware to existing configurations.
If scaling up still hasn't solved your performance problems, the next decision to make is to scale out and implement a federated server environment. Cutting back on the work each individual server must do will probably eliminate any performance issues that still occur.
Scaling out is also an option when budget constraints prohibit hardware scaling. If you already have sufficient server capacity, your expenditures will be decreased dramatically. You must, however, determine whether the cost savings is worth the added complexity of running a federated server environment.

Start By Optimizing, Follow up by Scaling
It is imperative to repeat that proper optimization at the database and application levels is the least expensive and most efficient way to enhance performance. Concentrating server performance tuning in those areas will commonly phase out the need for scaling. Be sure to exhaust all optimization options before going through the expense and added complexities of scaling.
