Product information "MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2016 STANDARD"

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard

SQL Server 2016 Standard provides enterprises with a reliable, scalable, hybrid database platform to build intelligent, mission-critical applications, as this edition includes all the features needed to do so, as well as the corresponding memory performance, including advanced security with new features, as well as in-database query capabilities and analytics, plus Hadoop and cloud integration, R-analysis, and more.

In-memory performance, advanced analytics functions as well as real-time analysis of operational data plus the expanded reporting area are also among the features particularly worth mentioning.

Also worth mentioning are support for JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), as well as PolyBase for Transact-SQL queries and new Hybrid Cloud scenarios, which provide companies with even more sophisticated data analysis for more detailed results that can be displayed on many end devices thanks to comprehensive visualization options.

The SQL Server 2016 Standard edition is available from Wiresoft as used software - the price is lower than that of comparable new software - as far as this version of SQL Server is still regularly offered at all. This SQL Server license can be used to its full extent even when used and thus offers the maximum scalability, performance and security typical of the edition; this makes it particularly attractive for companies or organizations of smaller size that use correspondingly smaller servers, so that the combination of server license and CALs represents the most economical solution for them. The licensing of this used Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition is carried out according to the official Microsoft license management conditions. For detailed information on the new enhancements and features included in SQL Server 2016 Standard and how to license them correctly, please see the following sections.

New Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard benefits and features

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition supports the transformation of business-critical applications into intelligent applications, as well as increased scalability for up to 24 cores, plus open source R integration also enables advanced analytics. Employees or endpoints that have the appropriate client access license will benefit from the comprehensive business intelligence and development tools, which are also available for cloud-based use. Below is a brief outline of the key new features and functionality in SQL Server version 2016:

In-Memory OLTP

The built-in in-memory capabilities are responsible for a significant performance boost across all workloads - which is comparable to the speed of in-memory OLTP. In addition, there are other features such as:

  • In-Memory Columnstore and Query Store
  • Extension of the ColumnStore index
  • Temporal Tables for historization and provisioning of table data
  • Support for tables up to 2 TB in size

SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services (SSAS)

SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services offers improved performance and functionality for, among other things, creation, filtering, processing for table model databases - including integration with the R statistical language: R scripts can thus be executed directly on SQL Server and no longer have to be exported from the SQL database and then imported into R for an analysis, which not only saves time, but also provides greater security - as well as:

  • Database Consistency Checker - to check database consistency to immediately detect potential data corruption issues.
  • Direct live querying of external data supports additional data sources including Azure SQL, Oracle and Teradata.
  • New DAX features as well as Namespace Services
  • The revised Analysis Services Management Objects (AMO) include Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Core.dll, a second assembly.

SQL Server 2016 Integration Services (SSIS)

Important features here are support for Always On availability groups as well as Always Encrypted and Hadoop File System (HDFS) - as well as:

  • Incremental package provisioning
  • Available column names for errors in the data flow
  • New connectors as well as
  • Extensive custom logging capabilities

Master Data Services (MDS)

Master Data Services are used to efficiently manage master data sets within an organization. The following options, among others, are available:

  • Data can be organized in the form of models and rules for updating can be defined - including the authorization of specific individuals to execute them.
  • Master data sets can also be shared with individuals in Excel.
  • Filtering by domain-based attributes, as well as synchronization of entities for sharing across models
  • Approval workflows via change sets as well as new levels for enhanced security
  • Custom indexes for improved query performance

Reporting Services (SSRS)

SQL Server Reporting Services helps users create, manage, and deliver mobile or paginated reports.

  • Analysis Services provide analytical data from reporting and business services reports that can also be used for client applications or business intelligence tools from other vendors.
  • Reports can be generated from a variety of data sources, published in a variety of formats, and made available to employees via a browser in the web portal, via email, or on a mobile device.
  • Other features include the new web-based reporting portal with KPI feature as well as the new publisher specifically for creating mobile reports
  • New engine with HTML5 support for rendering reports
  • New chart types such as Treemap and Sunburst

Improved security

When it comes to security features, Microsoft SQL Server version 2016 has the following improvements to offer, among others:

  • Always Encrypted protects sensitive data such as credit card numbers and stores it encrypted in the or SQL Server database. Different roles define access rights, whereby admins, for example, can only manage data but do not have direct access to it.
  • Row-Level Security enables the implementation of access restrictions for individual rows of data, so that a single employee is only authorized to access certain rows of data.
  • Dynamic Data Masking simplifies application security coding and prevents unauthorized users from accessing sensitive data.

Furthermore, it is recommended to install the SQL Server software on a computer with NTFS or ReFS file format.

Hardware

  • Hard disk space: at least 6 GB - depending on the SQL Server components installed in each case
  • Memory: min. 4 GB, with increasing database size this should be increased to ensure optimal performance of SQL Server 2016
  • Processor type: x64 processor - AMD Opteron or Athlon 64, Intel Xeon or Pentium IV with EM64T support
  • Processor speed: min. 1.4 GHz; recommended 2.0 GHz

Licensing of SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition per Server/CALs

For SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition, combined licensing of server and complementary client access licenses (CALs) is available for either users or endpoints, so these must be purchased separately. Microsoft's licensing metric makes the following statements in this regard:

  • A separate server license is required for each server (whether physical or virtual) running SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition.
  • This also applies to SQL Server instances running in containers and equated to virtual machines.
  • For each user or end device that is to access a licensed SQL Server, a separate Client Access License (CAL) is also required, the version of which is at least identical or, if applicable, also entitles access to a higher version; these CALs must be purchased separately, they are not software and are also available second-hand from Wiresoft as separate Microsoft  products.

Licensing with the Server/CAL variant is particularly suitable for those companies that require client access licenses for a relatively manageable number of users or end devices, so that the costs for SQL Server licensing are lower than for the alternative Core-based licensing.
