SQL Server 2016 on Cloud

SQL Server 2016 on cloud uses transparent Data Encryption (TDE) to ensure your data is always encrypted. If in-memory Online Transaction Processing, or OLTP, is the future of computing, SQL Server 2016 takes the lead. In-memory OLTP was first built into SQL Server 2014, and SQL Server 2016 now boasts industry-leading capabilities. Businesses experience near-instant transactions when running reports and complex queries. And on the front end, customers experience instant and easy transactions.

Its feature AlwaysOn Availability allows organizations to protect data with ease — and flexibility. SQL Server uses data mirroring to improve failover for groups of databases (an improvement over earlier versions that used the same technique for just one database). It’s a mission-critical disaster recovery feature, built in to the platform from the start. Maintain more impressive uptime and streamline your maintenance operations. You have more options in how you protect your data — and greater peace of mind.
