SQL Server 2014:Mission Critical Performance White Paper

This white paper Applies to: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 and SQL Server 2012

As the volume and complexity of data continue to increase, organizations require a new approach to their mission-critical capabilities. In this white paper, we examine how capabilities built into Microsoft SQL Server including enterprise-grade security, availability, and performance, along with support for a full range of complex data types define a “new mission critical” that answers what kinds of capabilities organizations need and expect to compete in a dynamic global landscape. We also compare the cost impact of solutions that offer mission-critical functionality that is built into the core database with solutions that offer separate features organizations can add at additional cost.
