Efficient database management with SQL Server 2017 CAL

Microsoft introduced the SQL Server 2017 database management system to the market in October 2017. This time, the version was not only equipped with faster and more efficient functions, but now also supports various Linux distributions. The stored data can be stored securely locally, in the network and in the special Azure cloud. Thus, database queries are also possible directly in the cloud. SQL Server 2017 supports not only the T-SQL database query language, but also common programming languages, such as Python and R. If you purchase this SQL Server for your company, you will of course need a license for it. To be able to work with the database, users also need a license. In this case, the database is operated via SQL Server 2017 CAL. If you need such a client access solution, you can order it here in the store at a reasonable price.

Why you should buy SQL Server 2017 CAL

The licensing of Microsoft products is modular. Therefore, you need at least one access license for the database management system and one for the client access solution. With CAL you have the possibility to access your database directly, to change and save the data. At the same time, your employees or even you yourself can work locally at your computer workstation, on the road or directly from your home office. This is where the advantages of a cloud solution become apparent. In general, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 CAL gives you the chance to work on the data on the application server as well as on the web server. With CAL, all the functions of your database can be executed. Perform comprehensive analyses with the dataset and represent the results via the integrated reporting module. Interestingly, there are two different CAL licensing options, which we would like to briefly introduce here.

Buy SQL Server 2017 User CAL and ensure practicable data management

As the abbreviation User already suggests, SQL Server 2017 User CAL is an access authorization of your database that allows people to access it. However, each employee and each staff member needs a separate license. This person can then access your company database from anywhere. This is a kind of personalized licensing. This makes sense, for example, if sensitive data needs to be processed. The Big Data records can then only be edited by authorized employees. Perhaps an employee in the HR department is tasked with maintaining the employee master data. Likewise, another employee may take care of the important customer data. Even in production, there are responsible parties who need to store and provide production data. In this case, SQL Server 2017 User CAL is used.

But you can also buy SQL Server 2017 Device CAL

SQL Server 2017 is purchased by many companies that need to manage Big Data sets. As mentioned before, a CAL is still required to use it. It is quite convenient if you choose SQL Server 2017 Device CAL. In this case, no person in your company is licensed, but instead a digital device. This can be, for example, a PC, a notebook, a tablet or even a printer. Different users can work on such a device without having to be licensed themselves. Especially in companies with extensive database entries, the work can be conveniently divided into shifts. For example, a database query can be completed in the morning and then by another person in the afternoon. Many entrepreneurs opt for this somewhat more flexible type of licensing. Regardless of this, you can buy both the User CAL and Device CAL for SQL Server 2017 at a low price here in the store.
