Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Standard 2-Core

With its included database, reporting and analysis functions, the SQL Server 2017 Standard edition offers small and medium-sized companies in particular a powerful version of Microsoft's proven relational data platform. It includes many enhancements and improvements to existing features, including Master Data Services and Reporting Services, as well as important new features, including Business Intelligence and Always Encrypted technology - plus high scalability to run mission-critical workloads securely and reliably. With SQL Server 2017 Standard, gain new insights based on your data with in-database advanced analytics in Python or R, as well as powerful interactive visualizations. Add to that the choice of development languages and operating systems, and you can deploy SQL Serve applications not only to Windows, but also to Linux and Linux-based Docker containers - as well as between running them locally or in the cloud.

SQL Server Standard 2-Core Edition thus meets all the requirements of a modern high-performance relational database management system, as they are typically given in particular in SMEs when providing ERP software, CRM as well as enterprise resource planning systems - Microsoft SQL Server contains all the prerequisites for a secure platform for data warehousing.

Wiresoft offers the SQL Server 2017 Standard 2-Core edition as used software - at a significantly lower price than new software - this is fully usable and offers a large scope in terms of performance and security, as this is attractive especially for such companies or organizations that use correspondingly more powerful servers, so that the variant consisting of server license/CAL is not applicable. The licensing of Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Standard is also carried out for used software according to the Microsoft license management. For detailed information on the applicable licensing terms as well as the feature sets included in SQL Server 2017 Standard, please refer to the details below.

What's New in SQL Server 2017 Standard 2-Core?

The Standard edition of SQL Server 2017 offers a wide range of features needed to run mid-tier applications and data marts in smaller or mid-sized companies - including high scalability that also allows for their trouble-free performance. In addition to high virtualizability, this includes high availability with failover, advanced OLTP and in-memory columnstore, as well as operational real-time analytics and PolyBase. PolyBase technology also allows relational data and Big Data to be combined and thus used in a variety of ways.

The Business Intelligence features provide multi-dimensional models and basic tabular models for analyzing data sets, as well as in-memory storage mode, basic reporting and analytics features. For Advanced Analytics, SQL Server Machine Learning Services supports integration of machine learning features, including connectivity with open source Python and -R, provides a consistent environment not only on Windows, but also for Linux and Docker, as well as also hybrid transactional as well as analytics processing in real time.

Further, SQL Server 2017 Standard supports many common development tools both on-premises and in the cloud, including T-SQL and SQL CLR. In addition, the Standard edition also offers enhanced security with Always Encrypted, including Always On high availability and disaster recovery for Windows as well as Linux.

SQL Server 2017 Standard includes new features for the following functional areas:

SQL Database Engine features

In addition to increased performance, the database engine includes additional features for complex analytics and improved workflows, including adaptive query processing with enhancements for Adaptive Joints and feedback on memory allocation in batch mode. Overlapping execution of table value functions with multiple statements conserves CPU resources, while new dynamic management lists increase performance, including automatic optimization; when query performance problems occur, they are immediately displayed, and appropriate suggestions for resolution are created and automatically implemented. In addition, CLR assemblies can now be added to a positive list.

SQL Server Analysis Services

In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), SQL Server 2017 offers updates to existing key features; in addition to improvements to tabular models, tabular mode is now available as a default installation option. The Get Data feature in Power BI leverages existing data sources when running queries in the Power Query M formula language.

SQL Server Integration Services

The Scale Out feature in SSIS includes enhancements and simplifies running on multiple PCs, for example. The Scale Out master supports high availability and optimizes failover handling of execution logs. The SSIS catalog includes another global property to specify the default mode when deploying SSIS packages, plus SQL Server on Linux is now supported.

Linux with SQL Server 2017 Standard

Users can now use the Linux open operating system to access SQL Server. For both Linux and C++ applications, the connection is made via the Open Database Connectivity interface. Also, the use of the Java Database Connectivity driver has been optimized for Java applications.

New SQL Server Machine Learning Services

The area previously known as SQL Server R Services has been renamed SQL Server Machine Learning Services, in part because of support for Python alongside the previous R programming language. Now, R or Python scripts can be used for execution; Microsoft Machine Learning Server can be installed to deploy R and Python models. Developers also have access to ML and AI libraries for Python, which are available in an open source environment.

Licensing of SQL Server 2017 Standard 2-Core

For the SQL Server 2017 Standard edition, the core licensing introduced by Microsoft with the 2016 SQL Server version is alternatively available, as described below. In contrast to earlier versions, where the number of cores of a processor did not play a role in licensing, a different licensing metric applies: The number of cores contained in an SQL Server now forms the basis for determining the license requirement. For this purpose, 2-core packages are then available; two cores can thus be licensed per package; this also applies to used software.

The total number of licenses required for an SQL Server is therefore based on the maximum number of cores, with each physical core of a server requiring its own license. Microsoft basically assumes a minimum of 8 licenses per server and has defined the following conditions:

  • Each physical processor is calculated with at least 8 cores.
  • Each physical server is calculated with at least 16 cores.
  • All physical and active cores must be licensed according to the two conditions mentioned above.
  • Core licenses for SQL Server 2017 Standard are available in packs of 2.
