Microsoft has
redesigned the SQL Server 2008 product family to better meet the needs
of each customer segment. SQL Server
2008 will deliver unprecedented value and functionality compared with
competitive solutions. The four new editions will offer a range of
features, from high availability and robust scalability to advanced
business intelligence tools, designed to empower users across an
organization through a more secure, reliable, and productive data
management platform. Additionally, with the reduced application
downtime, robust scalability and performance, and tight security
controls, SQL Server 2008 represents a dramatic step forward in
supporting the most demanding enterprise systems in the world. Because
SQL Server is part of Windows Server System, customers also receive the
added benefits of reduced total cost of ownership and faster development
time through the increased manageability and integration that result
from the common engineering strategy implemented across Windows Server
System products. The table below presents details about each of the
different editions. |
