SSAS White Paper list

January 26th, 2011 by Vidas Matelis

In a few weeks I am planning to go to Redmond for “SSAS Maestro” training. I am very excited that I was accepted for this training and I want to prepare for it as much as I can. As I was going through available SSAS papers, I realized that quick list of SSAS white papers could be useful for other SSAS developers, so I am posting it here:

• SQL Server 2008 White Paper: Analysis Services Performance Guide
• Analysis Services Processing Best Practices
• Analysis Services 2005 Processing Architecture
• Analysis Services Distinct Count Optimization
• Analysis Services Distinct Count Optimization Using Solid State Devices
• Analysis Services Many-to-Many Dimensions: Query Performance Optimization Techniques
• SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS) Server Properties
• Running Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services on Windows Server 2008 vs. Windows Server 2003 and Memory Preallocation: Lessons Learned
• SQL Server Best Practices Article: Identifying and Resolving MDX Query Performance Bottlenecks in SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services
• Analysis Services ROLAP for SQL Server Data Warehouses
• Scale-Out Querying for Analysis Services with Read-Only Databases
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services Consolidation Best Practices

   Great list! I guess you’re not looking at 2008 R2 then?

   Will, Jason, Claire – thank you for your comments.
   Claire – this list is for 2005/2008 – there are new papers for the same subject for 2008R2. But most of 2005/2008 applies to 2008R2 too.
