SQL Server no Linux, reviravolta na Microsoft

Bom dia galera,

Esta semana tivemos uma grande novidade no mundo da tecnologia de banco de dados. A Microsoft anunciou a liberação de uma versão de testes do SQL Server, seu SGBD, que passa a rodar na plataforma Linux. O, até pouco tempo, inimigo Linux agora passa a ser amigo.

Built on SQL Server 2016, SQL Server on Linux gives you the power to build and deploy intelligent applications on a single data management and business analytics platform. Take advantage of SQL Server’s low total cost of ownership, your existing tools and skills and new innovations battle-tested in the cloud.

We’ll continue to make it easier for you to work with data of any type, size, and speed using the tools, languages, and frameworks you want to use in a trusted cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environment. It’s another step to make SQL Server simpler and more accessible.

…fantastic new capabilities. SQL Server 2016 delivers:

  • Groundbreaking security encryption capabilities that enable data to always be encrypted at rest, in motion and in-memory to deliver maximum security protection
  • In-memory database support for every workload with performance increases up to 30-100x
  • Incredible Data Warehousing performance with the #1, #2 and #3 TPC-H 10 Terabyte benchmarks for non-clustered performance, and as of March 7, the #1 SAP SD Two-Tier performance benchmark on Windows1
  • Business Intelligence for every employee on every device – including new mobile BI support for iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices
  • Advanced analytics using our new R support that enables customers to do real-time predictive analytics on both operational and analytic data
  • Unique cloud capabilities that enable customers to deploy hybrid architectures that partition data workloads across on-premises and cloud based systems to save costs and increase agility
