The Information Security Consolidated Event Management (ICE) system is a more than 30-terabyte data warehouse used by the Microsoft Information Security team to analyze network utilization events captured by various sources, including over 100 proxy servers, mail servers, Net logon servers, etc.* The ICE database processes approximately 1 terabyte of log data each day and it has become a key component in the incident response process, in addition to forensics investigations.* Analysis of the proxy data has empowered the Microsoft Information Security team to identify and remediate numerous security issues that would have gone undetected otherwise.*

ICE version 4.0 is an ambitious project set to deliver almost real-time data and high-query performance to the security team using Microsoft SQL Server 2008. Moreover, ICE 4.0 is also designed to perform all sorts of data filtering and transformation during the data-loading process, so the schema of data stored in ICE is tailored for investigation analysis/reporting needs.* An Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube is built on top of the ICE data warehouse to facilitate aggregated queries.** Join this session to learn how enhancements to the Microsoft SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) 2008 dataflow engine have significantly improved the performance of loading, filtering and transforming 1 terabyte of network log data into the ICE data warehouse.
