SQL Server 2022 continues to push the boundaries of security, availability, and performance for all your data workloads, now with new compliance tools, higher performance on the latest hardware, and high availability on Windows, Linux, and containers. Enhanced PolyBase enables you to query other databases like Oracle, Teradata, and Mongo DB directly from SQL Server without moving or copying the data.

For the first time, SQL Server 2022 goes beyond relational database with Spark and Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) in the box—for big data capabilities built-in.

With SQL Server 2022 Enterprise, you get access to mission-critical functionality to achieve unprecedented scalability, security, high availability, and leading performance for your Tier 1 database, business intelligence, and advanced analytics workloads. With this product, SQL Server 2022 Enterprise can be purchased as a 2 Core License Pack with a 3-year term.
