Hello, we are interested in upgrading our Data Warehouse environment to SQL Server 2005 to take advantage of SSIS. Our current data warehouse environment consists of 2 production servers with over 900 DTS packages between the 2 servers.
Are there any white papers out there detailing what type of deployment works well for an Enterprise wide use of SSIS? We're trying to determine if we should use SSIS on the same server hosting our databases, or separate SSIS onto its own dedicated box. If we went the dedicated route, what type of horsepower would we need on the SSIS box (procs, RAM, etc.)? Also, if we went the dedicated route, does it make sense to have 1 SSIS server that handles the data warehouse packages and the OLTP packages, or should that be separated into 2 SSIS servers having one server for each environment?
Thanks for any help you can provide on this subject!
Eric
the 32 bit version of ssis can use a maximum 3 GB of RAM. because of this limitation, i recommend using the 64 bit version instead (if possible).
