SQL Server continues to grow in popularity, with tools such as PowerPivot helping Microsoft to make Business Intelligence (BI) appeal to new users who may have found it intimidating before, and many server products from Microsoft now take a dependency on SQL Server - increasing its footprint within the enterprise. With nearly a year of SQL Server 2008 R2 availability, one year of SQL Azure, and the announcement of SQL Server Denali anticipated in late 2011 or early 2012, it's a good time to reflect upon and analyze the current SQL Server and SQL Azure capabilities and the future of the SQL Server platform.
In this TeleBriefing, Research Vice President Wes Milller covers the capabilities of SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Azure, and discusses the improvements announced for SQL Server Denali.
