OCZ has released yet another whitepaper, written by Allon Cohen and Scott Harlin, which focuses on unleashing the full power of SQL Sever 2012 in Virtualized Data Centers and the role of the OCZ's ZD-XL role in it.

The new whitepaper focuses on optimized cache and flash virtualization for SQL Server 2012 as well as addressing SQL Server 2012 Storage Access Requirements. It also shows performance testing with a single SQL Server 2012 VM as well as multiple, concurrent SQL Sever 2012 VMs.

With the never ending increase in CPU and DRAM computing power across data centers, IT professionals use server virtualization as means to increase efficiency and reduce cost. While virtualization generally works, it is usually crippled by deficiencies of HDD storage, and that is where the flash storage solution, including OCZ's ZD-XL really shine.

Combination of the OCZ VXL software and OCZ Z-Drive R4 PCI-Express SSD provides an enterprise solution to flash-based virtualization and acceleration in the data center that dramatically increases SQL Server 2012 transactional IOPS performance, reduces database read latencies, dramatically improves query completion times, and is optimized for the SQL Server 2012 release.

According to results from the whitepaper, the query processing can be improved by factors of up to 1700 percent.

In case you are interested in results and generally in SQL Server 2012, you can check out the new whitepaper below.
