Microsoft Dynamics CRM "4" - Titan CTP 2(beta) Preview

What's New in Microsoft Dynamics CRM "4" CTP 2 Server?
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 includes several new enterprise-level features that offer a wide range of flexibility, scalability, and ease of use.

Multi-tenancy
Earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server provided a single organization solution. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 provides the ability to host multiple organizations in a single Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployment. This feature is a great benefit for hosted solutions. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 now implements two types of databases:
• A single configuration database that stores metadata and location information for all organizations
• One or more organization databases

Server roles
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 introduces several new server roles that provide services, which increase flexibility and scalability. You can choose to have a computer dedicated to one server role or to all server roles.
The server roles are selected and installed during Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 Server Setup. The server roles are:
• Application Server Role: This server role provides the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 Web user interface and services.
• Asynchronous Services Role: This server role allows you to deploy the asynchronous services, such as the Workflow and Bulk E-mail services to a separate machine.
• SQL Governor Role: This server role manages user requests during heavy loads to deliver efficient throughput and increased quality of service.

SRS Data Connector
The SRS Data Connector is a service that connects the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 Server computer to the Microsoft SQL Report Server computer. The SRS Data Connector eliminates the Kerberos double-hop authentication that was required for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 deployments where Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services was installed on a separate computer.
The SRS Data Connector is installed as a separate component.

Resource Center
The Resource Center provides a place within the application where users, administrators, and implementers will find information to help them use and configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM. When completed, the Resource Center will present a wide range of rich content and links to valuable resources. Much of the content in the Resource Center will be created by experts in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM community.

当然,还有预料之中的MUI的支持,上两张图瞄瞄
