Teched EMEA: Successor to SQL 2008 is codenamed "Kilimanjaro"

Brad Anderson, general manager of the Management and Services division at Microsoft, announced the successor to SQL 2008; codenamed SQL Server "Kilimanjaro" and SQL Self Service Analysis codenamed "Gemini" today at the Teched EMEA 2008 IT Pro keynote.

Christian Petculescu, principal architect for the SQL team, was invited to stage. He demo'd SQL "gemini", loading million of rows into the "Gemini" GUI (looking like an Excel variant). It was lightning fast, on a regular PC. It seems to be something similar to using SQL analysis in Excel currently, but with a more intuitive and faster experience for the business user. The "gemini" engine handles the data, models and relationships, without the user to worry about it. Christian also demo'd using SQL analysis services and the Solution Accelerator for System Center Operations Manager -- utilizing PerformancePoint -- to drill down on operational data, and conclude where the root problem lies.
