Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Enterprise (2 Core) is the ultimate edition of SQL Server, designed for organizations that need unparalleled scalability, advanced analytics, and enterprise-grade security. Licensed by cores instead of CALs, this edition allows unlimited users and devices to connect, making it the perfect choice for large organizations, data centers, and enterprises running mission-critical workloads.
With in-memory OLTP, in-memory Column store, and advanced query processing, SQL Server 2016 Enterprise delivers lightning-fast performance for both transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) workloads. This edition introduces Always Encrypted, Row-Level Security, and Dynamic Data Masking to ensure sensitive data is protected at all times, whether at rest or in motion.
Businesses can benefit from real-time operational analytics, advanced reporting, and integration with R services for predictive analytics and machine learning. High availability is guaranteed through AlwaysOn Availability Groups, online indexing, partitioning, and automatic failover clustering.
The 2 Core licensing model eliminates the need for CALs, making it cost-effective for organizations with large or unpredictable user bases. It’s the ideal solution for enterprises that demand maximum performance, security, and scalability in modern hybrid-cloud and big data environments.
