Microsoft SQL Server 2012 as an affordable entry-level solution for large data volumes

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 is a stable database management system that is used by small to medium-sized companies as well as freelancers. On March 6, 2012, this was developed by Microsoft under the code name Denali. Microsoft succeeded in integrating powerful modules, such as the database module, the analysis service, the reporting service and the replication module into the SQL server. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 can be considered a high-availability solution for Big Data. You can now buy this version here at an attractive price-performance ratio.

What Microsoft SQL Server 2012 offers you

Companies often have to cope with very large volumes of data. It does not matter whether it is customer data, article lists or booking records for accounting. In all cases, it is important that you as a business owner have access to the most important data at all times. This is possible with Microsoft SQL Server 2012. Many innovative functions are now part of this Business Intelligence Edition. In particular, performance has been greatly improved here. With Always On, you can access your data at any time in real time and process or analyze it. Even the cloud solution Azure is integrated, so you can use a virtual computer for your database here. Other new features include the Data Quality Services DQS, the Contained Database and the Columnstore Index. It should not go unmentioned that the SQL programming interface T-SQL has now also been extended by many useful functions. This rock-solid database management system is available in different versions, which we would like to briefly describe below.

The SQL Server versions differ in this respect

The first version is Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Standard. This database management system provides you with powerful functions so that you can process your company data even more efficiently. The performance of this 2012 version is perfectly sufficient for most relevant workloads. As mentioned before, with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Standard you'll be able to store data not only locally or on the network, but also in a cloud, if you wish. With Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Standard 2 Core, you get yet another improved version that is aimed at a more demanding IT environment. This version is aimed at computing systems with at least four processor cores. Understandably, it allows database queries to be executed even faster. In particular, the xVelocity feature of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Standard 2 Core offers you a maximum for your queries here. Of course, you don't have to do without security and encryption technologies. Your data can not only be processed, but also visualized if desired. Even a reporting for representation purposes is included. Please note that compared to Microsoft SQL Server 2019, there is no enterprise version here.

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 CAL as useful add-ons

In addition to the actual Microsoft SQL Server database, various client access applications are also required so that you can also conveniently juggle your data. This is offered as Microsoft SQL Server 2012 CAL . However, you have to distinguish between two versions. With Microsoft SQL Server 2012 User CAL, your employees can easily edit the SQL database and draw the necessary information from it. In addition to data maintenance, visualization of the data and meaningful reporting are also possible. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 User CAL is only one solution for your SQL database management system. As an alternative there is Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Device CAL. With this add-on, an employee is not necessarily required as a user. Instead, many network operations can be performed automatically using digital devices. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Device CAL is extremely flexible. Of course, you can still use users in addition to devices. For example, in shift work, where many employees regularly change the database activity, this approach is ideal. You can also get these two add-ons from us at a reasonable price.x
