Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core

The SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core edition is currently the most comprehensive and up-to-date version of Microsoft’s proven relational data platform; it provides all the latest database, reporting and analysis functions that are necessarily used on a regular basis in a modern company that requires a powerful Relational Database Management System (RDMS), especially in enterprise resource planning systems, ERP software and CRM systems.

The SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core edition, in addition to the AlwaysOn high availability solution, Big Data Cluster as well as Service Broker, offers not only comprehensive security and protection of data, but also its integrity – while providing comprehensive communication interfaces and maximum scalability.

Only core-based licensing is available for the SQL Server 2019 Enterprise Edition, as this is designed in particular for medium-sized companies and especially large companies or organizations with correspondingly higher server capacities.

At Wiresoft you can find the SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core Edition at a much lower price, as fully functional used software – with all the advantages in terms of performance and security. Further information on the features of SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core as well as the licensing conditions, which also apply to used Microsoft software, can be found below.

What’s new in SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core?

The SQL Server 2019 version is not only an improvement of the functions and features contained in the previous version, but has been supplemented by many innovative functions – here, in particular, the Enterprise 2-Core edition provides the maximum in performance and scalability. In addition to the important areas of compliance and security, this primarily concerns the continuous execution of business-critical processes as well as many new analysis functions to process and evaluate even large volumes of data, as is often the case in Big Data Management in particular, so that they are available for many applications.

In SQL Server 2019 Edition Enterprise 2-Core, these include high reliability and availability through the execution of queries in record time, and the protection of data through the enhanced security features. Here, managed self-service data exploration along with interactive visualization of relevant data, among others, help increase the efficiency of data retrieval and processing – complemented by various intelligent cloud solutions.

With SQL Server 2019 Edition Enterprise 2-Core, in addition to processing structured data sets, it is also possible to process unstructured data sets; this is facilitated for the first time by the integration of Java, in addition to the use of interfaces to compatible databases such as Oracle.

The innovative features of SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core in detail

Among the particularly noteworthy features of SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core for comprehensive data processing is, in addition to the clustering of data, also the monitoring for their systematic recording during logging and measurements, as well as the intelligent processing of search queries.

Particular mention should be made here of Intelligent Query Processing (IQP), a feature that effectively accelerates the processing of queries, especially for larger data volumes. The speed of SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core has also been increased in many other database operations and additional functions have been added. Key new features in the Microsoft SLQ Server 2019 release include:

Data virtualization with Big Data Cluster

The new Big Data Cluster feature for SQL Server 2019 Enterprise uses AI technologies to analyze, virtually in real time, large collections of data that are common in larger companies. Big Data Cluster also provides all the tools needed to train machine learning models. Big Data Cluster (BDC) is a Linux-based container cluster consisting of SQL Server and Apache Spark and is deployed in Kubernetes or Azure Kubernetes Services. Also deployed here were Python and R apps

PolyBase, the feature already known from SQL Server 2016 pre-release for processing Transact-SQL queries from external data sources, has also been extended to access Oracle, MongoD and Terradata.

AlwaysOn in SQL Server 2019 Enterprise

AlwaysOn, the high availability solution introduced in previous versions of SQL Server 2019 Enterprise Edition, is based on the Windows Cluster Service with up to five nodes

five nodes, providing enhanced high availability without the need for shared storage as with the failover cluster. AlwaysOn offers the option of maintaining multiple secondary databases, which can run redundantly across multiple data centers.

Service Broker for developers

Service Broker is a framework for the development of highly scalable applications with asynchronous communication based on SQL Server. Service Broker is scalable and designed as a framework – it can therefore be used, for example, to send messages within a database or from one database to another. Applications developed on top of Service Broker can also be scaled across instances after the fact.

Availability of Java in SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core

In the SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core edition, Java code can also be used for the database management system for the first time by integrating Java Runtime. This means that compiled Java code can now be executed directly on SQL Server without having to migrate it first. Based on the SQL Server Language Extensions, the integration of further programming languages is also possible.

Secure Enclaves for secure data encryption

With Secure Enclaves, SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core extends the options already provided by Always Encrypted for encrypting data from the client to the DBMS. Data encrypted in this way can then not be viewed even by database administrators with their extended privileges.

Performance improvements in SQL Server 2019 Enterprise Edition

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 also includes many performance improvements in Enterprise Edition, including:

• Intelligent Query Processing optimizes the processing of queries, especially of large data sets
• Intelligent Performance increases the execution speed of database operations
• Database Snapshot creates a snapshot of the database that can be used to document its health as part of an evaluation or report
• Last Query Plan Statistics provides an up-to-date view of the last query execution plans
• Lightweight Query Profiling Infrastructure has been improved and is now enabled by default in SQL Server Management Studio
• Accelerated Database Recovery speeds up database recovery after restart or transaction rollback

Other SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core technical details include

In terms of scalability and performance of certain features, as well as high availability, the following are some of the specifications that apply to SQL Server 2019 Enterprise 2-Core edition:

SQL Server 2019 Enterprise licensing by cores

The SQL Server 2019 Enterprise edition is also exclusively subject to the core licensing introduced by Microsoft with the 2016 Server release. The otherwise available licensing per server/CAL is therefore generally not available here. Compared to older versions, where it was irrelevant how many cores a processor contained, a different licensing metric applies for core licensing: Now the number of cores is decisive for determining the license requirement. The per-core licensing model also applies to hybrid use and cloud deployments for provisioning. In cloud-compliant licensing, one core license applies to two cores at a time (versus previously, where one license was required per processor).

The total license requirement is based on the maximum number of cores per processor. All physical cores of a server require their own core license. The minimum number of licenses per server is eight, whereby Microsoft has specified the following conditions:

• At least 8 core licenses are required for each processor
• At least 16 core licenses are required for each server

Core licenses for SQL Server 2019 Enterprise are always available in packs of 2.

Hardware requirements

To deploy SQL Server 2019 Enterprise in an environment, the following hardware and software requirements must be met:

• Supported operating systems: Windows 10, Windows Server 2019, 2012 R2
• Hard drive: at least 6 GB of available hard drive space – depending on the SQL Server components installed
• Graphics: Super VGA graphics card with a minimum resolution of 800×600 pixels
• Memory minimum: 4 GB
• Processor type x64 processor: AMD Opteron, AMD Athlon 64, Intel Xeon with Intel EM64T support, Intel Pentium IV with EM64T support
• Processor speed: 1.4 GHz – recommended: 2.0 GHz or faster
