When on the hunt for dedicated database services, one name that may appear in your search is Microsoft SQL Server, a relational database management software designed for the maintenance and storage of data in large numbers — perfect for businesses and corporations. This software, often hosted by Microsoft itself or by sites such as Sitename allows those with access to your server to upload, edit, compile and manage data necessary for your company’s business intelligence (BI) reports or models. It has been in service for nearly 30 years, initially published as SQL Server 1.0 in 1989, but the latest edition of this software now grants features for a modern age such as mobile capabilities, as will be properly discussed below, and a host of other features, including the following additional functions:
-
The ability to use in-database analytics (known as “big data”) is considered a massive boon, as the data analysis could be used to predict trends and interact with potential partners and customers based on this predictive data, enabling you to get a leg up on your competition.
-
Your BI capabilities improve significantly with the ability to share data on the web or through mobile devices, so long as the devices are connected to the Microsoft SQL dedicated database server. This way data can still be accessed and shared even while on the go, no matter the size of the data or its location, or even if it’s on a custom-made application.
-
There’s also support for a multitude of operating systems, enabling a wide reach of clients, including Windows, Linux, and Docker containers, with a variety of tools and directories such as the Azure Active Directory to further customize your experience and expand your business’s online prowess.
With this information in mind, you may want to consider looking into a Microsoft SQL dedicated database server for your business, as it will greatly increase its potential in both resource and data management, but possibly in growth. A well-organized business, after all, is a successful one.
