Microsoft SQL Server Standard 2022

SQL Server 2022 Standard from Microsoft is the latest version of this reliable relational data platform that provides users with all the necessary database as well as analysis and reporting functions that are frequently applied in all companies that use enterprise resource planning and CRM systems or ERP software. SQL Server 2022 Standard provides a powerful, Cloud-enabled Relational Database Management System (RDMS) for all of these tasks, which is ideally suited to meet their requirements.

With the SQL Server 2022 Standard Edition, small and medium-sized companies already have a basic data management and Business intelligence database at their disposal, which not only offers suitable tools for the development of local as well as Cloud-specific applications, but also enables particularly efficient database management through a low demand on IT resources.

The following overview provides detailed information on the functions of SQL Server 2022 Standard known from the previous version and the usual Microsoft licensing conditions for SQL Server software.

Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard – Overview of important functionalities

Among the features particularly worth mentioning in the SQL Server 2022 Standard edition are again the available highly scalable Cloud services as well as, among other things, the Microsoft Always Encrypted data encryption technology, which provides secure enclaves and can be extended with Java language integration, for example.

Other crucial features of SQL Server 2022 Standard for comprehensive data processing include clustering of data as well as monitoring for its systematic collection during logging as well as measurements.

In particular, the use of Big Data clusters in SQL Server 2022 Standard expands the possibilities for analyzing and processing data in many ways. This is supplemented by the integration of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), Apache Spark as well as other analysis tools, the intelligent processing of search queries as well as the use of containers in all processes involved. The certification of database compatibility thereby avoids the possible incompatibility of applications and also enables not only the local update of a SQL database system, but also those at the periphery as well as in the Cloud.

Enhanced security is again provided in SQL Server 2022 Standard by features such as accelerated database recovery as well as functions for classification and reliable monitoring of data, which also warn of suspicious activities.

More detailed information on the individual functional areas is provided in the following overview.

Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard – Data Virtualization with Big Data Clusters

Powerful Big Data management continues to play a key role in the analysis and processing of large volumes of data. Here SQL Server 2022 Standard offers not only strong performance but also good scalability – in combination with powerful analysis tools, such as intelligent query processing, which process data reliably and at the same time quickly and make it available for the various applications in companies.

Here, SQL Server 2022 Standard also offers the option to move Big Data workloads to SQL Server instead of managing them on Hadoop-based local platforms, for example, as in the past. With the integrated connectors or SQL Server PolyBase, external databases such as Oracle, Teradata, Mongo DB, HDFS as well as Azure Data Lake can also be queried without having to physically move or replicate the corresponding data first.

Deploying Big Data clusters with SQL Server 2022 also enables scalable clusters of SQL Server, Spark and HDFS containers to be deployed with Kubernetes, which also enables parallel querying, writing and processing of data with Transact-SQL. Similarly, Big Data clusters enable the execution of AI and machine learning tasks in HDFS storage pools, as well as the deployment of applications both as containers and as apps in the form of web services that access data stored in a Big Data cluster for this purpose. Furthermore, Big Data Clusters in SQL Server 2022 Standard are also available:

• Data Lake is a scalable HDFS storage pool that can be used to store data from various external sources for analysis as well as combination with relational data.
• Data Mart enables horizontal scaling of Big Data clusters to improve the performance of data analytics, including integrating data from multiple sources via data pool nodes that serve as caches.
• AI tools, as well as Spark, can also be used with R, Python, Scala, and Java, for example.

SQL Server 2022 Standard – Strong Performance

The SQL Server 2022 Standard edition is characterized by high scalability and performance of important functions, as well as reliable high availability. Among other things, high availability is achieved through Server Core support as well as always-on failover cluster instances and a failover Server for disaster recovery and improved database recovery including encrypted backup.

Further, Columnstore is available for large object binaries, as well as In-Memory Database with In-Memory OLTP1, a hybrid buffer pool and persistent memory support to improve performance for mission-critical workloads; further supported are: up to 50 instances, Stretch Database, features like table and index partitioning as well as data compression, parallel processing for partitioned tables and multiple filestream containers.
