Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard

SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition offers improved availability and scalability with up to 24 cores. Transform data and deliver actionable insights with modern reports. Use the open source R integration for advanced analytics. This version of Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard is licensed by Server/CALs. The server/CAL licenses are worthwhile if you need few access licenses and can precisely determine the accessing users or devices. On the server side, one license is required for each operating system environment (virtual or physical) in which a SQL Server instance is running. The number of SQL Server instances installed does not matter. You can install and run multiple SQL Server Standard instances within one Windows Server instance (corresponds to an operating system environment) with one license. The CAL part of the server/CAL license model works in the same way as Exchange, SharePoint, etc. There are user and device CALs for different requirements.

SQL Server technologies:

Database engine

The database engine is the core service for storing, processing and securing data. The database engine provides controlled access and fast transaction processing. This means you can also meet the high demands of data processing applications in your company. The database engine also provides a variety of support for maintaining high availability.

R Services

Microsoft R Services offers several ways to integrate the popular R language into corporate workflows.

R Services (In-Database) integrates the R language with SQL Server so you can easily build, retrain, and evaluate models by calling Transact-SQL stored procedures.

Microsoft R Server provides scalable enterprise R support across multiple platforms, supporting data sources such as: B. Hadoop and Teradata.

Data Quality Services

SQL Server Data Quality Services (DQS) provides a knowledge-driven data cleansing solution. DQS allows you to create a knowledge base and then use that knowledge base to perform data correction and deduplication on your data using computer-assisted and interactive means. You can use cloud-based reference data services and create a data management solution that integrates DQS with SQL Server Integration Services and Master Data Services.

Integration Services

Integration Services is an engineering platform for high-performance data integration solutions, including data warehouse packages for extracting, transforming, and loading (ETL) data.

Master Data Services

Master Data Services is the SQL Server solution for master data management. A solution built on Master Data Services ensures that reporting and analysis are based on the right information. With Master Data Services, you create a central repository for master data and maintain a monitorable and secure record of that data as it changes over time.

Analysis Services

Analysis Services is an analytical data platform and business intelligence toolset for individuals, teams and enterprises. Server and client designers support traditional OLAP solutions, new table modeling solutions, and self-service analysis and collaboration capabilities with Power Pivot, Excel, and a SharePoint Server environment. Analysis Services also includes data mining to help you discover the patterns and relationships hidden in large volumes of data.

Replication

Replication is a set of technologies for copying and distributing data and database objects from one database to another and then synchronizing the databases to ensure data consistency. You can use replication to distribute data to different locations, to remote or mobile users, over local networks and wide area networks (WANs), dial-up connections, wireless connections, or over the Internet.

Reporting Services

Reporting Services delivers web-based enterprise reporting functionality so you can create reports that pull content from a variety of data sources, publish reports in multiple formats, and centrally manage subscriptions and security.
