DiscountASP.NET Launches SQL 2008 Hosting in the U.S. and UK

Pasadena, CA (Gawkwire.com) Innovative windows hosting leader, DiscountASP.NET, announces the launch of Microsoft SQL 2008 hosting, available to all DiscountASP.NET customers as a new hosting add-on option in both U.S. and UK datacenter locations.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is a major update to its enterprise database. Some of the SQL Server 2008 feature enhancements include new data types, such as geospatial data types and date/time data types. In addition, integrated full text search, Language Integrated Query (LINQ), sparse columns, and large user-defined types are improvements that will help drive next-generation data-centric applications.

"One of our goals is to be an early adopter of new Microsoft technology. We are proud to be among the first hosts to officially launch SQL 2008 hosting along with a suite of SQL 2008 management control panel tools," said Takeshi Eto, VP Marketing at DiscountASP.NET. "We also wanted to make sure that all of our customers have the opportunity to access next generation technology, so we've made SQL 2008 hosting available in both of our datacenters, located in the U.S. and Europe."

With the launch of SQL Server 2008 hosting, DiscountASP.NET introduces new SQL 2008 management tools in their control panel, including an on-demand SQL 2008 database backup tool, an automated SQL 2008 database restore tool, and an automated Attach MDF File tool. Customers can manage their SQL 2008 databases with Microsoft SQL Management Studio.
