Large MS SQL deployments

[zetec452]

Hey,

Any of you pros here installed any large MS SQL deployments. I'm thinking in the region of 2TB databases.

On paper MS SQL meets requirements but in the real world (and the company I work for) Oracle is king and hugely more expensive.

Any tips, instances advice appreciated.

TIA.

40TB is pretty large indeed. How many servers did you use for 40TB? I must admit I considered 2TB large enough. . Are you a DB consultant?

I'm not responsible for the usual RDBMS stuff. Just looking around for competitive ideas. As an Oracle shop we are a little concerned with going for a completely different DB.

Thanks for the pointers guys. Databases are not my area either. Just trying to look at alternatives for the business.
