> 1 TB in < 30 min
Last year, with the introduction of SQL Server 2008, Microsoft broke the existing ETL World Record, doing a load of data using SSIS. Over 1 TB of data was loaded from flat files in less than 30 minutes.
At the time the team promised a white paper on the subject, which is now available on MSDN. It’s quite an interesting read (even for people like me, who don’t normally work with DWHs of that size).
