Description
SQL Server 2022 Standard Edition, licensed per core. Therefore, this is a relational database management system designed for mid-tier applications and data marts. Additionally, it offers a balance of features and cost-effectiveness compared to the Enterprise Edition.
Key characteristics and features of SQL Server Standard 2022 (Core-based licensing):
-
Core-based Licensing:Consequently, this edition is licensed based on the number of physical cores in the server or virtual cores allocated to a virtual machine. Therefore, a minimum of 4 cores must be licensed per server or virtual machine, even if fewer cores are present.
-
Resource Limits:Hence, it supports up to 24 logical cores for the Database Engine and Analysis Services, and a maximum of 128 GB of memory.
-
Features:
- Data Virtualization: Enhanced PolyBase allows querying external data sources like Oracle, Teradata, and MongoDB directly from SQL Server without data movement.
- Big Data Clusters: Includes capabilities for integrating with Spark and Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).
- Security: Offers advanced security features like Always Encrypted, Row-level security, Dynamic data masking, and Advanced Threat Protection.
-
- Performance: To clarify, this incorporates next-generation Intelligent Query Processing features for faster query execution without code changes.
- High Availability & Disaster Recovery: Supports standard replication, backup compression, and provides options for fail-over servers.
- Azure Integration: Offers hybrid capabilities, Azure Arc integration for on-premises management, and Azure Hybrid Benefit for reduced rates in Azure.
-
Target Use Cases:Suitable for departmental applications, data marts, and mid-sized workloads where the full scale and advanced features of Enterprise Edition are not required.
-
Scalability:Allows for easy upgrade to Enterprise Edition without code changes if future needs require more advanced features or higher resource limit.
