Why switch to SQL Server?
More secure
Get layers of protection for your data at rest and in motion. SQL Server is rated the least vulnerable database six years in a row by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.*
Consistency across platforms
You'll get a consistent experience across on-premises and cloud platforms with common development and management tools, and common T-SQL.
Highest performing
SQL Server is ranked first, second, and third—and Oracle is ranked fifth—in the TPC-H 10TB non-clustered results, a standard benchmark for data warehousing workloads.**
In-database advanced analytics
Make better decisions with easy-to-use analytics tools that seamlessly combine enterprise data, external data, and unstructured big data.
In-memory built-in across all workloads
Achieve exponential performance gains with the speed of in-memory online transaction processing.
