Throughout the 24 Hours of SQL Server 2008 series, we use Contoso
(Container Overseas Shipping Operation) LTD as our scenario customer
while we explore the features that make SQL Server 2008 a productive
data platform.
Contoso is a (fictitious) shipping company that delivers all kinds of
items around the globe, from small individual items to large
manufactured items. While they are happy with their in-house
applications and believe they provide a significant advantage over
competitors, Contoso wants to ensure that these applications are
running on the most productive platform to maintain this advantage,
especially as their business grows worldwide. Their recent growth has
been mirrored with the growth of its data, from client voice mails to
scanned and e-mail documents which has led Contoso to look at options
for its storage, access, security, and searching needs.
