This paper provides an overview, benchmark results, and recommendations for implementing selected Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 features that can improve the performance of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and secure the CRM database.

  • Microsoft SQL Server® 2008 R2 contains a variety of features that, when implemented properly, can improve the performance of a Microsoft Dynamics® CRM 4.0 implementation and secure the data within that deployment. These Microsoft SQL Server 2008 features include:
    • Compression
    • Sparse Columns
    • Transparent Data Encryption
    • Backup Compression
    The MS CRM E2 team, working in conjunction with the Microsoft SQL Server team, recently completed a project that was designed to:
    1. Evaluate the new scenarios that these Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 features expose
    2. Measure the performance impact of implementing these features, both singly and in selected combinations
    This paper provides an overview of these Microsoft SQL Server 2008 features, together with benchmark results and recommendations for implementation.
