Benefits of SQL Server 2012
Over Previous Editions
Reason 1 – End of Life (2000)
Reason 2 – New SQL Server 2012 Licensing options
Reason 3 – Upgrade Paths (Who doesn’t like options)
Reason 4 – SQL Server 2012 is Awesome!!!
•
Full implementation of the BI suite, and it is simple to implement
security, auditing and encryption as well as virtualization capabilities.
• The refined interface. Most people only use a small portion of the SQL
product. But put the whole SQL suite together, Database, SSAS, SSRS,
SSIS, Data Mining, integration to SharePoint, Excel 2010, and Power Pivot
–and it’s seamless and consistent.
– And those are the best reasons of all – Seamless and Consistent.
If you’re thinking about a migration or new implementation, Databerry is here
to help!

In-House vs Hosted
Should I Host Myself or in a Data Center?

• 24-7/365 hardware support without having to go on site
• Physical security
• Monitoring of systems
• Ease of scalability for growth and customization
• Disaster Recovery from multiple locations
• Limited IT staff required, if any at all
In-House
• More control/customization of physical Hardware/Software setup
• Small static monthly fee(internet & electric) vs. hosted larger monthly fee
• Initial investment may be high
• Dedicated IT staff required to maintain systems
• Lack of customization, integration and scalability without add’l purchases
• Disaster Recovery options are based on your internal limitations/costs
