About Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard
We live in a world of data. In fact there is so much data today, it is easy to drown in oceans of data.
Being able to manage and analyse data is vital. It allows you to discover which data among the seas of data is important. This in turn means you can leverage the important data to increase sales, productivity and gain vital advantages over your competition.
It also means you can discard the oceans of data that is relatively unimportant. This alone should reduce your stress levels, as well as the stress levels of other people.
I will briefly tell you how.
1. Perhaps the most exciting new features in SQL Server 2022 is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning capabilities. You get AI-powered query optimizer that can improve performance by automatically identifying and fixing issues in queries. And you get built-in machine learning models that can be used for tasks such as anomaly detection, forecasting, and natural language processing.
Let me give that a financial aspect.
The stock value of Microsoft has reached a staggering $2.6 trillion in recent weeks, buoyed by investor optimism surrounding its artificial intelligence advantages. You see, Microsoft has made significant investments in OpenAI (known for its popular chatbot, ChatGPT), allowing Microsoft to leverage AI technology to enhance its products and services. In other words, Microsoft has acquired a leading position in the AI sector.
2. The introduction of Azure Arc-enabled SQL Servers. This allows users to manage their on-premises and multi-cloud SQL Servers as a single entity, making it easy to automate management tasks and ensure compliance across all environments.
3. Another major new feature in SQL Server 2022 is the ability to run SQL Server on Linux. This means that users can now run SQL Server on any platform, whether it’s Windows, Linux, or even in the cloud. This flexibility will allow businesses to take advantage of the benefits of SQL Server while also being able to run it on their preferred platform.
4. Of course there are many other new features and improvements, such as enhanced security, improved performance, and better support for big data and analytics.
5. One other feature that you may find particularly useful is that this new version makes it easier to integrate with other Microsoft products, such as Power BI and Azure Machine Learning, making it even more powerful for data analysis and visualization.
Summary. Microsoft SQL Server 2022 is an investment that can provide you with all kinds of ways of managing and analysing your data so that you know which data in a sea of data is important. So that you can leverage the important data to increase sales, productivity and gain vital advantages over your competition.
Take control. Instead of drowning in an ocean of data, why not try walking on it?
