SQL Server 2014 is the data platform for the modern business. SQL Server offers small and midsize organizations a fast, highly available database—and a cloud-ready data platform that will grow with your business. SQL Server 2014 dramatically speeds transactions with new in-memory capabilities. Cloud capabilities make it easy for your organization to choose where to deploy your applications—whether on-premises, in the cloud, or a combination of both.
Now more than ever, Microsoft makes powerful database functionality available to small and midsize organizations with a range of performance enhancements in SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition.
With new in-memory technology built in to SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition, transactions run an average of 10x faster on the same hardware.
SQL Server 2014 also includes built-in capabilities to maximize uptime, helping ensure your database—and your business—are always running.
With SQL Server, you get a proven business-class data platform you can rely on: it’s the world’s most widely used database, with millions of installations and 46% market share per IDC Unit Share.

Chemical company transforms business with all-in move to the latest Microsoft platform
“We have the right tools in place so we can go and sell chemicals. We don’t think about computers – they just help us do our jobs better.”
Art Hein, Managing Director, JARCHEM Industries, Inc.
JARCHEM delayed an IT investment for many years, resulting in system conflicts, business slowdowns, and reduced capabilities.
With Microsoft partner eMazzanti Technologies, JARCHEM updated PCs and servers to the latest Microsoft technologies including Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 & Hyper V, Office 365 and SQL Server 2012.
Now, everything “just works” and JARCHEM can focus on the business of delivering innovative chemicals to customers around the world.

They called on Microsoft partner CorpInfo to help them move to a unified cloud productivity solution: Office 365.
The result: Sky Zone now has a reliable, integrated productivity platform that will grow with their needs no matter how big they get.

17. Legal firm sails through Hurricane Sandy with Windows Server
IT at the Law Offices of Aaron I. Katsman couldn’t keep up with the firm’s growth. Slow performance and the need to frequently restart servers significantly reduced productivity.
Microsoft partner WorkITsafe deployed Windows Server 2012, using Hyper-V to create virtual servers and desktop computers. They set up automatic backup and failover capabilities to guard against disaster.
The result: During Hurricane Sandy, employees served customers from home – without even realizing they were using the failover system.
“Our computers are our lifeline. When Hurricane Sandy hit, Hyper-V Replica saved our business.”
