EMC Documentum 5.3 SP4 With Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005: Maintaining High Performance in a Production Environment

EMC Corporation and Microsoft create solutions that enable organizations to effectively manage critical business data. Microsoft SQL Server database software is the leading database used on the Windows operating systems, and complements the EMC Documentum Enterprise Content Management Platform. To demonstrate the performance benefits that customers can expect to realize by running EMC Documentum 5.3 SP4 content management software on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 compared to running on its predecessor, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Microsoft and EMC conducted benchmark tests at a Microsoft lab facility in November 2006. The results show that SQL Server 2005 enables the database server to handle five times the number of users as compared with the older version with an identical workload.
