CAL RDS SQL Server 2014 License

Increased performance for SQL Server 2014 version

Are you worried about your server’s performance? No more worries. With SQL Server 2014, you get critical performance for all workloads. These performances are made possible through in-memory, faster analytics of all data using familiar tools, and a platform for the hybrid cloud that allows businesses to efficiently create, deploy, and manage solutions on-site and in the cloud.

The SQL Server 2014 CAL license is a major but non-disruptive product in the market. You benefit from improvements in backup and security, which you can start using immediately. Moreover, you continue to work as you always have while making the necessary changes to exploit performance increases.

Especially for small and medium-sized businesses, which do not have a full-time database administrator, SQL Server 2014 has a managed backup function that makes things much simpler. Data storage and database management are automated. What’s fun is that whenever you have made enough changes (enough is relative depending on the memory you have) to the database, it is automatically backed up and stored for up to 30 days. More specifically, if you change more than 5 MB of data, a log backup is triggered, and if it is more than 1 GB, a full backup is automatically created.

The list of 8 features for this new CAL Server 2014 license

1. Benefit from significantly faster database performances.
2. The in-memory OLTP engine allows optimizing the memory of certain tables and stored procedures for high concurrency and to eliminate locking delays, which multiplies performance up to 20 times.
3. Improved AlwaysOn integration through the extension of secondary replicas from four to eight offers extended mirroring of databases that allows users to switch over multiple databases – in groups, not individually – and read secondary copies, thereby improving Disaster Recovery (DR) operations or database backups and ensuring that the DR environment remains not idle.
4. Backup encryption allows protecting data at rest. SQL Server 2014 now supports multiple encryption algorithms that allow for advanced backup encryption and data protection.
5. Enjoy enhanced data tools for Business Intelligence (BI) that enable and support secure data analysis and improve your server’s performance.
6. Power BI for Office 365, a cloud-based business intelligence (BI) solution, offers advanced capabilities for data exploration and visualization. Experience a greatly improved PowerView for multidimensional models. While PowerView was limited to tabular data, it can now be used with multidimensional models to create various data visualizations, including matrices, bubble charts, tables, and geographical maps.
7. Updateable column indexes: the read-only restriction is now removed and allows the use of all table columns that cannot be combined with other tables, enabling you to generate business intelligence (BI) reports.
8. There is now an extension of the buffer pool provided by the new capability of integrating solid-state disks (SSD). This supports systems whose memory is saturated.
