Improving Sustainability and Use of SQL Server at Microsoft

This white paper examines the deployment of the SQL Utility within Microsoft IT, including the decisions that Microsoft IT made, implementation details, and aspects of system quality. It assumes that readers are technical decision makers and are somewhat familiar with Windows Server and SQL Server technologies. Many of the principles and techniques described in this paper can apply to other organizations. However, this paper is based on the experience and recommendations of Microsoft IT as an early adopter. It is not intended to serve as a procedural guide. Each enterprise environment has unique circumstances; therefore, each organization should adapt the plans and lessons learned described in this paper to meet its specific needs.
