Breaking News about SQL Server 2008 R2
3/1/2010 1:33:29 PM
New features and pricing changes set for April 1, 2010
As you may know, the next version of SQL is set to release. This latest version, now referred to as SQL Server 2008 R2, will offer some significant technological advances. Three of those noteworthy changes are as follows: - Ability to save hundreds of millions of rows of data in a single web page with real-time updating and charts. Finance and actuarial teams have been clamoring for this.
- Create ‘pure’ data by enforcing policies, rules, etc. on information from users before it gets pushed to production data sources – SQL Server or not. I can see how this would help make decisions more accurate, timely, and confident.
- Ability to now view database and resource performance in a dashboard rather than relying on logs and analysis. The IT folks can more quickly add, reallocate/remove, and optimize resources.
SQL Server 2008 R2 will also have a price change beginning April 1st. In summary, here is a quick snapshot of those changes: - Standard Processors are targeted for 25% increase
- Enterprise Processors are targeted for 15% increase
- Datacenter and Parallel Data Warehouse Processor licensing – 2X compared to Enterprise
It is our job to make sure your organization has full visibility to these changes and has a solid plan for the next 12 months. If you would like to further discuss how it may apply to your situation and determine what, if anything, we should do about it, contact KiZAN for a personal consultation.
