SQL 2005 general questions

  • What is the best way to handle load balancing with Sql Server 2005? I have been reading about the way you can spread the read-write operations across multiple disks using the new table level partitioning, but there is still a bottle neck since all access is passed through a single sql server instance.

    Then there is the mirroring which provides for multiple sql server instances over a single database, but the replication delay and the limits on using identity fields is a bummer.

    What we are looking at is possibly multiple servers country wide that would be able to handle the network traffic of 1000's of concurrent users. I know Barnes and Noble has to have the same issue in a grander scale. Are there any study guides on this or information for how someone else rose to this challenge?
