I have previously blogged about the Fast Track Data Warehouse, a reference configuration optimized for data warehousing (see Microsoft SQL Server Reference Architecture and Appliances). That was version 3.0 of the reference configuration that was for SQL Server 2008 R2. Released a couple of years ago was version 4.0 for SQL Server 2012 (download). Now appearing is Fast Track Data Warehouse solutions for SQL Server 2014 (see What’s New for Data Warehouse Fast Track for SQL Server 2014 white paper). These solutions can be ordered now. These are solutions validated by Microsoft for deploying SMP data warehouse on SQL Server 2014 EE:
