Question

You are designing a new SQL Server instance that will support a Web application. The Web application is hosted on a Web farm that contains 32 nodes. The server has 128 GB of memory and 16 processor cores. The application contains two databases and supports both online analytical processing (OLAP) and online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads. When testing the application, you discover that some queries run extremely slow and some queries run very fast. You need to ensure that the server processes database queries as fast as possible . What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

Explanation

The data collector is a component installed on a SOL Server server, running all the time or on a user-defined schedule, and collecting different sets of data. The data collector then stores the collected data in a relational database known as the management data warehouse. The data collector is a core component of the data collection platform for SQL Server 2008 and the tools that are provided by SQL Server. The data collector provides one central point for data collection across your database servers and applications. This collection point can obtain data from a variety of sources and is not limited solely to performance data, unlike SOL Trace. The data collector enables you to adjust the scope ol data collection to suit your test and production environments. The data collector also uses a data warehouse, a relational database that enables you to manage the data you collect by setting different retention periods for your data. The data collector supports dynamic tuning for data collection and is extensible through its
