1 Vinay Kulkarni Solution Brief: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Data Warehouse Fast Track on System x3550 M5 with Micron M500DC Enterprise Value SATA SSDs Solution Reference Number: BDASQLRMS51 The rapid growth of technology means that the amount of available data and the ability to collect that data increased to a level unthinkable as little as five years ago. As the volume and velocity of data increased, however, extracting meaningful insight in a timely manner became more complex. Therefore, opportunities are being missed and effort is being wasted. To compete, businesses in the 21st century are demanding the tools to derive true value from their data. Microsoft Data Warehouse Fast Track (DWFT) for SQL Server 2014 on the System x3550 M5 (see Figure 1) is a cost-effective solution from Lenovo that improves time-to-value for your up to 5 TB data warehouse (DW) needs with new, scalable reference architecture for Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition.

2 This basic solution in the Lenovo portfolio uses the cost-effective System x3550 M5 server that is combined with Micron M500DC 480 GB Enterprise Value SATA solid-state drives (SSDs) to solve the data warehouse needs of up to a 5 TB SQL Server database. Microsoft Data Warehouse Fast Track (DWFT) program makes it easy to reduce costs, save time, and reduce risk with reliable, pretested hardware and best practices for data warehousing. This solution features the following highlights that help your organization to: Improve time to value with pretested hardware configurations. Reduce hardware testing and reduce tuning immediately. Reduce total cost of ownership through better price and performance ratio, rapid deployment, and lower risk because of validation by Microsoft. Optimize performance with pretested System x3550 M5 hardware configurations. Realize a low-cost storage solution with new Micron M500DC Enterprise Value SATA SSDs. The configuration that is listed in this document has the following Microsoft certified performance rating: Fast Track RowStore rated I/O: 1,677 MBps ColumnStore throughput: 613 Queries/Hr/TB The specifications of the configuration and test results are shown in Figure 2 on page 4. The Lenovo reference configurations for DWFT for SQL Server bring together the right mix of storage technology and software. The configurations integrate the latest powerful System x rack and enterprise servers, robust Micron Enterprise Value SATA Storage options, and the data warehouse capabilities of SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition. Each offering, from Basic (up to 10 TB data warehouse) to Standard (11-39 TB data warehouse) to Advanced (>40 TB data warehouse), consists of the following components: Pretested System x server and in-server Micron M500DC SSD storage configuration, which are balanced and optimized for warehousing. Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition for a scalable enterprise data warehouse platform. Enterprise data warehouse with faster time-to-value DWFT for SQL Server 2014 for System x offerings are methodically tested and tuned to save you months of configuration, setup, testing, and tuning. With these offerings from Lenovo (server) and Micron (SSD), you can now complete the following tasks: Buy all the hardware that you need from only one vendor including servers, storage (Micron M500DC SSDs are standard Lenovo offerings in this and other platforms), and networking. Build, tune, and deploy with confidence by using established data warehouse best practices. Select from different levels of performance, scalability, and price to suit your business needs. 2 Solution Brief: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Data Warehouse Fast Track on System x3550 M5 with Micron

3 Choose from 4 to up to 120 Intel Xeon processor cores. Run targeted query workloads that are patterned for large sequential data sets rather than small random transactions. Eliminate bottlenecks with optimized rapid data reads and query aggregations. Better data compression and query time The clustered column store index (CCI) in SQL Server 2014 is designed for use with data warehouses to deliver better data compression and subsecond query response time, which enables interactive analytics on the data. There is no need to pre-aggregate the data for the anticipated queries or reports. CCI offers the following performance benefits: CCI is optimized for query performance. It gives 10x better query response time and 7x higher compression ratio. CCI can be updated, which allows two types of concurrent insert of new data while the query workload is running. This capability reduces the data latency from the time data is born to when it is available for querying. By using CCI, SQL Server 2014 delivers industry-leading TPC-H benchmark numbers for data warehouse workloads. Powered by System x3550 M5 with cost effective Enterprise SATA SSDs System x M5 servers, such as the System x3550 M5, feature the latest Intel Xeon E v3 series processors. With more cores and more memory, the new M5 family is fast. The greatly increased processing power is provided by the latest Intel Xeon E v3 processors. System x M5 servers include the following features: Two times the memory capacity of previous generation processors, with 24 DIMM sockets in the x3550 M5. Support for 64 GB TruDDR4 Memory LRDIMMs, up to 1.5 TB of memory in the x3550 M5. New storage technologies, such as the Micron M500DC Enterprise Value SATA SSDs for System x, which provide performance and reliability at low cost. Micron s M500DC Enterprise Value SATA SSDs include the following features: Lower total cost of ownership (better performance, lower acquisition and ownership costs) Micron s XPERT feature set: Enhanced Performance, High Reliability & Quality, Optimized Endurance, and High Capacity Industry-standard Form Factors DWFT for SQL Server 2014 features the System x3550 M5 with six 480 GB Enterprise Value SATA SSDs that provide reliability and performance at relatively low cost. These SATA SSDs in the Lenovo x3550 M5 simplify DWFT storage configuration and maintenance versus the use of a SAN, which features more parts to maintain and manage.
