New in SQL Server 2005, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) provides the features and performance necessary to build enterprise-class data integration applications.
SQL Server 2005
SQL Server 2005 includes a new enterprise data integration platform. This platform, with exceptional ETL and integration capabilities, enables organisations to more easily manage data from a wide array of traditional and non-traditional data sources. With SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), organisations gain a competitive edge through a holistic view of their business.
The SQL Server Integration Services platform takes the place of a popular feature in SQL Server 2000, Data Transformation Services (DTS). But SSIS is completely new for SQL Server 2005, providing the features and performance necessary to build enterprise class data integration applications. The performance advantage of the transformation engine is noticeable from lightweight 32-bit systems to high-end 64-bit architectures.
