It is a cloud-ready, relational database management system, with the primary function of storing and retrieving data as requested by other software application. The request can be from the same computer or those running on another computer across a network, including the Internet. The primary query languages for the SQL server are ANSI SQL and T-SQL.

The Windows core support reduces OS patching by as much as 50-60%. The user defined server roles enables users to manage permissions easily around data access to support separation of duties and enable compliance around strict data access policies. Through distributed replay, application testing and help minimize errors with production-like application testing and configuration upgrades and changes are simplified.
