Server Scalability

Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 extends the scalability of SQL Server at both ends of the performance spectrum. The SQL Server 2000 database engine that runs on Microsoft Windows NT® and Windows® 2000 includes support for items such as 64 GB of physical memory and distributed partitioned views that allow you to implement groups of database servers that can scale to meet the processing requirements of the largest Web sites or enterprise data systems. SQL Server CE adds enhanced support for mobile users by running on Microsoft Windows CE. These enhancements make SQL Server 2000 a good choice for managing databases ranging from a small, personal database on a kilobyte-sized Windows CE device to terabyte-sized databases accessed by thousands of Internet users.
