Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard - built to help You do More

Industry-leading

Build mission-critical, intelligent apps with industry-leading online transaction processing (OLTP) performance that features great scalability, performance, and availability.

Advanced Security

End-to-end mobile BI

Turn data into actionable insights. Provide information online or offline on any device, one-fifth the cost of other self-service solutions.

Advanced Analytics in The Database

Analyze data directly within SQL Server databases without moving the data. using R, the popular statistics language.

Made for Hybrid Cloud

Get a consistent platform and tooling for easy workload mobility between your data center, private cloud, or Microsoft Azure.

Faster Queries

When customers want data, they want it as fast as you can provide it to them. Microsoft SQL Server 2016 includes several options to enable faster queries. Memory-optimized tables now support even faster online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads with improved throughput as a result of new parallel operations.
____________________

In-Memory OLTP Enhancements 
_____

In-memory OLTP helps speed up transactional workloads with high concurrency and a lot of latches by moving data from disk-based tables to memory-optimized tables and compiling stored procedures seamlessly. In-memory OLTP can also help improve data warehouse staging performance by using non-durable, memory-optimized tables as staging tables.

In-memory Analytics
_____

SQL Server 2016 adds more options for performing real-time analytics on rapidly changing in-memory data by adding support for column store indexes on memory-optimized OLTP tables. Resource contention between two workloads is significantly reduced when they run simultaneously. As changes occur to a table, the Database Engine automatically manages changes to the index to ensure that it stays current with the underlying table.

Analysis Services Enhancements

Analysis Services provides two different modes to support faster reporting and analytics: multidimensional and tabular. In SQL Server 2016, multidimensional mode and tabular mode both benefit from enhancements that improve performance. DirectQuery now generates a simpler and better-performing query in SQL Server 2016 than in earlier versions.

Improved Security

Three new major security features are introduced in SQL Server 2016. Always Encrypted, row-level security, and dynamic data masking. Because of the innovative client-side encryption technology "Always Encrypted", the SQL Server instance never sees the unencrypted version of the data.

High Availability
_____

In an always-online world, it's more important than ever to maintain uptime for your mission-critical applications and streamline maintenance operations. By running SQL Server 2016 on Windows Server 2016, you have more options to better manage clusters and storage.

More Analytics
_____

Better and faster analytics capabilities are built into SQL Server 2016. Enhancements to the tabular model provide more flexibility for the design of models, and an array of new tools help you develop solutions more quickly and easily.

Improved Reporting
_____

For report developers, SQL Server 2016 features a more modern development environment, two new data visualizations, and improved parameter layout options in Reporting Services.

Improved Azure SQL Database
_____

By integrating new features into SQL Database before SQL Server, development teams can leverage the full testing and telemetry cycle at scale, which allows them to add features to both products much faster.
