Microsoft SQL Server 2016 offers you these features

At its heart is the actual database module, which allows you to store, process and back up your Big Data records. In addition to fast accessibility, you are provided with numerous functions that simplify the daily analysis of your data. You can also use Microsoft R Services with it. This is the programming language R, which can be conveniently integrated into company workflows. It can be used, for example, to call individual Transact-SQL procedures. Managing large amounts of data can be very time-consuming. In this case, SQL Server 2016 offers you the proven Data Quality Services. This is an intelligent data cleansing solution that can be used to remove superfluous data and correct incorrect entries. If you are looking for a data warehouse solution that can perform reliable data integration, you will also find Integration Services. Other strengths lie in analysis functions, in the replication of data sets and, of course, the Reporting Services for modern reporting.

Discover the different Microsoft SQL Server 2016 versions

If you only need a few access licenses for your company or generally want to manage your database alone as a freelancer, then Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard is perfectly sufficient. Here you get a basic version with the most important functions, so you can start right away. If you need more performance, you can use the Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard 2 Core version instead of Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard. Licensing here is based on the number of processor cores used. Thus, at least 2 processor cores are supported with this version. Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard 2 Core is understandably aimed at more powerful IT hardware. Of course, all functions of the standard variant are available here as well. However, thanks to multi-grain technology, database access is faster. For optimal performance, you should plan enough RAM for your system.

The Microsoft SQL Server 2016 CAL solutions

Creating and managing large databases via an SQL server is one thing. But it is also important that your employees can access them. In this case, the two Microsoft SQL Server 2016 CAL solutions come in handy. They are useful add-ons that integrate seamlessly with your database management system. With Microsoft SQL Server 2016 User CAL, you enable a certain number of users to access the SQL server. This is particularly advantageous in company networks if one or more employees have to maintain the database. Likewise, of course, the data can be analyzed and reports can be created via this. In addition to Microsoft SQL Server 2016 User CAL, there is also a somewhat more flexible variant. This is Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Device CAL. With this add-on, a person does not have to be the user of the database, but a digital end device can also take over these tasks. There are numerous end devices that need to access your database on the network when a certain event occurs. Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Device CAL thus represents a flexible alternative. Of course, this add-on is designed in such a way that not only an end device can automatically access your SQL server, but also, as before, a user. This ultimately ensures an even more efficient exchange of data between different applications. This also includes support for JSON, for example. Please note that at least one license per user is required for the use of a CAL solution. You can also obtain these client access solutions here at an attractive price-performance ratio.
