organization by providing a more secure, reliable, and productive
platform for enterprise data and BI applications. SQL Server 2005
delivers powerful, familiar tools to IT professionals as well as to
information workers, reducing the complexity of creating, deploying,
managing, and using enterprise data and analytical applications on
platforms ranging from mobile devices to enterprise data systems.
Through a comprehensive feature set, interoperability with existing
systems, and automation of routine tasks, SQL Server 2005 provides a
complete data solution for enterprises of all sizes.
Workgroup Edition is the data management solution for small
organizations that need a database with no limits on size or number of
users. Workgroup Edition can serve as a front-end Web server or for
departmental or branch office operations. It includes the core database
features of the SQL Server product line and is easy to upgrade to
Standard or Enterprise Edition.
Business today demands a different kind of data management solution.
Performance, scalability, and reliability are essential, but businesses
now expect more from their key IT investments.
SQL Server exceeds dependability requirements and provides innovative
capabilities that increase employee effectiveness, integrate
heterogeneous IT ecosystems, and maximize capital and operating budgets.
SQL Server provides the enterprise data management platform your
organization needs to adapt quickly in a fast-changing environment. With
the lowest implementation and maintenance costs in the industry, SQL
Server delivers rapid return on your data management investment. SQL
Server supports the rapid development of enterprise-class business
applications that can give your company a critical competitive
advantage.
Benchmarked for scalability, speed, and performance, SQL Server is a
fully enterprise-class database product, providing core support for
Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Internet queries.
Developer Edition allows developers to build and test any type of
application on top of SQL Server on 32-bit and x64 platforms. It
includes all of the functionality of Enterprise Edition, but is licensed
for use as a development and test system, not as a production server.
Developer Edition can be upgraded to SQL Server Enterprise Edition for
production use.
