MSDN Webcast: 24 Hours of SQL Server 2008: Manage Your Unstructured Data With SQL Server 2008 (Level 100)

Tags:
application servers

Overview The recent growth at Contoso has been mirrored with the growth of its data, from client voice mails to scanned and e-mail documents. These documents are now common as part of insurance claims or parts of quotes. This growth in unstructured data has led Contoso to look at options for its storage, access, security, and searching needs. The presenter of this webcast looks at the FILESTREAM attribute and Remote BLOB Store API features in SQL Server 2008 as potential solutions to this problem. The presenter covers the differences from large unstructured data storage in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and then explores the new SQL Server 2008 features in detail, while explaining how to implement them.
