MarketWatch.com Deploys SQL Server 2005 to Enhance Scalability, Availability

Overview MarketWatch.com, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dow Jones & Company, helps more than five million unique visitors a month stay abreast of market conditions with its business and investing news, personal finance information, and analytical tools. The company was using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database, which had served it well, but needed a solution that would support more than two gigabytes of physical memory. It also wanted to enhance high availability. MarketWatch upgraded to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition (64-bit), which supports up to 1 terabyte of RAM. The company is evaluating SQL Server 2005 Database Mirroring which allows continuous streaming of the transaction log from a source server to a single destination server to provide complete database synchronization.
