The Case for SQL Server Consolidation

Tags:
database management

Overview The number of deployed instances of Microsoft SQL Server in the enterprise continues to grow more rapidly than the rollouts for any other Database Management System (DBMS). The reasons are clear; Microsoft set out to provide a powerful DBMS that meets multiple goals for IT organizations. SQL Server is designed to deliver scalable solutions while offering ease of use and deployment, self maintenance and tuning, low resource overhead, and low skill set requirements. Microsoft provides product versions that contain similar feature sets priced to help build community. For example, the Developer version of SQL Server has the same feature set as the Enterprise version. In addition, Microsoft launched evangelistic efforts to build a community around the DBMS.
