SQL Server 2014
Powerful database functionality, available
to small and midsize organizations
As your business grows so do the demands you place on the databases that help run your
organization. Whether for inventory, online sales transactions, or customer management, a
slow-performing or unavailable database can create bottlenecks in the way your employees
do their jobs—and cause your customers to take their business elsewhere.
Speed up applications and reduce downtime with the most
widely used database in the world.

Get faster
transactions on
existing hardware
Speed up transactions without having to buy new hardware
using new, higher memory limits in SQL Server 2014
Standard Edition. And with new in-memory technology
built-in to SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition, businesses
are able to perform transactions an average of 10x faster on
the same hardware.
Avoid downtime—
for your database
and your
organization
SQL Server 2014 also includes built-in capabilities that help
ensure your database—and your business—is always up and
running. For example, you can reduce downtime associated
with software patching by 50-60% with SQL Server support
for Windows Server Core1.
Rely on the most
widely used
database
With SQL Server, you get a proven database you can rely on.
With an install base in the millions, SQL Server’s businessclass data platform capabilities are the most widely used on
the planet2.
“We proved that we can handle the data flood from over 200 million smart
metering channels… Our tests were performed on standard, commercially
available hardware, which makes it very promising.”

Director of MECOMS™ Product Organization, Ferranti Computer Systems
The percentage reduction in patching varies and can be less based on the server roles that are enabled and the type of patches that are applied.

Microsoft SQL Server is the most
secure of any major database
platforms, having recorded the fewest

Backup SQL Server to Microsoft Azure
If you’re running any version of SQL Server,
Microsoft Azure offers a fast, easy way to back up
your on-site database to the cloud.
Your backup files get all of the benefits of
Microsoft Azure storage, including:

Elimination of capital expense for storage
hardware and media

Reduced OPEX on backup administration

Enterprise-grade data protection that's
inherently offsite and geographically
redundant
Backups can be compressed, automated to
minimize data loss, and encrypted for added
protection.
In the case of an on-premises failure, you can also
easily restore your backup in a Microsoft Azure
Virtual Machine to help you get your database
back online quickly.
