Load Balance Clustering on 2005?

My company is planning on using a datacenter for our customers.  These are manufacturing plants from which we collect batch and trend data (currently stored in SQL Server)

If we move to a centralized database model we may need Load Balancing.   I  read that SQL 2005 will accommodate this so I called MS Support and no one could confirm this.

My dilemma is that I need to report upon what our options are for the datacenter.  So I need to know if load balancing will be an offering of SQL 2005.

    SQL不支持 均衡的 置, 支持故障 移.如果想 的 ,需要其他的 硬件和其他的配置可以 一定程度上的 均衡.如果想提高I/O性能可以 一下SAN存 网 ,如果 CUP等的性能可能需要 分 或者 像或者复制等技 ,使 据在其他服 器上保持一致的副本,然后在WIN上 均衡.或者 有其他的 法.目前我知道的就 些.

    SQL Server 2005 provides failover clustering, not load-balancing clustering.

    Network Load-balancing in Windows works well with multiple read-only servers each containing the same data, but this is not provided directly by SQL Server.

    SQL Server 2005 has several features that provide increased scalability (table partitioning, SQL Server Service Broker, XML indexes, query notifications, CLR stored procedures, and others), enhancing the scale-up abilities and further reducing the need for such load-balancing capabilities, but no, load-balancing is not provided.
