Synopsis
Pro SQL Server 2008 Policy-Based Management is in direct response to audit and regulatory pressure on database administrators to manage all databases across an enterprise in a provably consistent manner.
Government and industry regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance Standards are forcing organizations to not only require such consistency, but to be able to prove that they have implemented it. Policy-Based Management is key to both implementing, and to proving. Thus, increasing regulatory demands lead almost directly to demand for this book, which is the only book on the market to provide deep and comprehensive coverage of its topic.
