The Most Comprehensive, Intelligent Database Platform For Modern Enterprise
SQL Server 2014 Standard - Faster, Safer, & More Intelligent Than Ever
01
Industry Leading
Build mission-critical, intelligent apps for online transaction processing
(OLTP) with breakthrough scalability, performance, and availability.
02
Advanced Security
Protect data at rest and in motion. SQL Server 2014 is the least vulnerable
database made by Microsoft with breakthrough scalability, and performance.
03
End-To-End Mobile BI
Transform data into actionable insights. The new SSDT-BI supports SSAS &
SSRS for SQL Server 2014 and earlier. However, SSIS projects are limited to SQL Server 2014.
04
Ability to Encrypt Database Backups
Get support for several encryption algorithms in SQL Server 2014 backups. This
includes Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128, AES 256, AES 192, and Triple DES.
05
Made For Hybrid Cloud
Get a consistent platform and tooling for easier workload mobility between
your datacenter, private cloud, or Microsoft Azure.
Faster Queries
Users want to access the data as soon as you share it with them. The Microsoft SQL Server 2014 comes
with various such options to enable faster queries. Memory-optimized tables are compatible enough to
support faster online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads with better performance due to new
parallel operations.
In-Memory OLTP Enhancements
This accelerates transactional workloads with great coexistence and
too many locks by moving data from disk-based tables to memory-optimized tables and by
compiling native stored methods. It can also help in improving the data storage staging
process by using memory-optimized, non-durable tables as staging tables
In-Memory Analytics
Get more options to perform real-time analytics on speedily
changing storage data. The resource conflicts are quite reduced now which used to occur
between the two workloads when they ran simultaneously. When changes are made to a table,
the database engine automatically maintains the changes for the index to ensure it stays up
to date with the underlying table.
Analysis Services Enhancements
It offers two different modes to aid in the rapid analysis and
reporting- multidimensional and tabular. These modes are present in SQL Server 2014 to
improve the performance. It also contains the Add Azure Replica Wizard, which assists you in
creating asynchronous secondary replicas in Windows Azure.
Remove Bottlenecks, Expand Business
A slow-performing business or unavailable database can create hurdles in the daily functioning of the
organization. But with SQL Server 2014, you can deploy and manage databases with ease. Now, you can
work from anywhere and anytime with cloud integration.
Buffer Pool Extensions Feature
Expand the buffer pool in systems with the help of SSD drives. It lets you max out
SQL Server 2014 Buffer Pool as nonvolatile RAM. with this feature you make
performance sturdy and responsive to handle heavy OLTP workloads.
Broader Data Access
SQL Server 2014 is an upgrade from its predecessor 2012 version. It delivers
licensing three main editions that allow you to run the software in a variety of
different cloud environments and simplifies acquisition.
SQL Server Standard Edition
Due to continuous drop in the cost of store data and the changing number of data formats commonly
used by the applications continues to change. You need to be able to manage access to historical
data relationally as well as integrate relational data seamlessly with semi-structured and
unstructured data. SQL Server 2014 comprises new features which support this progressing environment
by accessing a wider variety of data.
SQL Server Standard Edition
The Standard Edition helps deliver basic reporting, database, and analytics
capabilities.
SQL Server Business Edition
With the Business Intelligence Edition, you can work with premium corporate
and self-service business intelligence (BI).
SQL Server Enterprise Edition
The Enterprise level edition is perfect for handling mission-critical
applications and large-scale data warehousing.
Other Features
01
Higher Availability- Always Online
It is more important than ever to maintain uptime and optimize maintenance
activities for your business-critical applications. Here, users can expect performance
to be up to 20 times superior to SQL Server 2012 when using the new In-Memory OLTP
Engine.
02
Faster Analytics Features
Ensure better and faster analytics features with SQL Server 2014. The
improvements to tabular models provide more flexibility in designing models, and a
variety of new tools which help you develop solutions fastly and easily.
03
SQL Server Reporting Services
The SQL Server 2014 enables a more modern development environment with
better parameter layout options, and two new data visualizations to its report
developers.
04
Improved Azure SQL Database
Integrating new functionality into the SQL Database prior to the SQL
Server, the development team can leverage a full test and telemetry cycle at a scale,
allowing them to add features to both products more quickly.
