27. Additional SQL Server 2008 R2 Enhancements for DBAs Parallel Data Warehouse : Highly scalable appliancefor enterprise data warehousing. It consists of both software and hardware designed tomeet the needs of the largest data warehouses Massively scale to hundreds of terabytes with the use of new technology, referred to as massively parallel processing (MPP), It partitions large tables over several physical nodes, resulting in each node having its own CPU, memory,storage, and SQL Server instance.
