Build a Metadata-Driven ETL Platform by Extending Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services
SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) provides a flexible and scalable architecture that enables high-performance data extract, transform, and load (ETL).

Data Warehouse Capacity Planning as Capacity Enforcement
Capacity planning is a problem for a data warehouse because it sets contrasting functional requirements against each other. On one hand, data warehouse customers consume data warehouse capacity as they query the data in the data warehouse business intelligence (BI) reporting. Meanwhile, applications consume data warehouse capacity as they load data into a data warehouse through the extract, transform and load (ETL) process.
