SQL Server 2014

SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition is a professional distributed database management software carefully built by Microsoft. SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition has extremely powerful functions and improves the security, management, T-SQL enhancement, and SSIS integration services of the software. SSAS analysis service and SSRS report service and other functions, SQL Server 2014 software has a new hybrid cloud solution, allowing you to manage your database more efficiently.

SQL Server 2014 software features

In-memory OLTP: Provides in-memory OLTP capabilities built into the core SQL Server database to significantly improve transaction speed and throughput for database applications. In-memory OLTP is installed with SQL Server 2014 Engine and does not require you to do anything else - you do not have to rewrite your database applications or refresh your hardware to improve in-memory performance. With in-memory OLTP, you can access other rich features in SQL Server while taking advantage of in-memory performance.

In-memory updatable ColumnStore: Provides higher compression, richer query support, and updateability for existing ColumnStore data warehouse workloads, giving you faster loading speeds, query performance, concurrency, and lower Price per TB.

Expand memory to SSD: Use SSD to seamlessly and transparently integrate solid-state storage into SQL Server. As an extension of the database buffer pool, it can perform stronger memory processing and reduce disk IO.

Enhanced high availability

1. New AlwaysOn feature: Availability groups now support up to 8 secondary replicas, which are ready for reading at any time, even in the event of a network failure. Failover cluster instances now support Windows Cluster Shared Volumes, improving shared storage utilization and failover resiliency.

2. Improved online database operations: including online index reconstruction of a single partition and lock priority management table partition switching, thereby reducing the impact of maintenance downtime.

Encrypted backups: Provides backup encryption support on-premises and in Windows Azure.

IO resource management: Resource pools now support configuring minimum and maximum IOPS per volume, allowing for more comprehensive resource isolation control.
