Hello Partners,

 

Earlier this month SQL Server team announced that SQL Server 2016 will be generally available today, June 1, 2016. I am very excited about this new release as this is one of the biggest releases in SQL Server’s history. Since our own Jeff Stoffel covered the SQL Server 2016 Readiness resources, in this 8 part blog series, I will be focusing some of my favorite new capabilities that SMBs can take advantage of, deployment options as well as editions and licensing.

 

Microsoft SQL Server 2016

 

You can download and test out SQL Server 2016 from TechNet Evaluation Center today. Evaluation edition includes all SQL Server capabilities and is good for 180 days so you can get ready to upgrade and migrate to SQL Server 2016. Please also take a look at the free SQL Server 2016 ebook to learn from experts.
