Microsoft announces SQL Server 2022 preview
SQL Server 2022 integrates with Azure Synapse Link and Azure Purview to enable customers to drive deeper insights, predictions, and governance from their data at scale.
 
Cloud integration is enhanced with disaster recovery (DR) to Azure SQL Managed Instance, along with no-ETL (extract, transform, and load) connections to cloud analytics, which allow database administrators to manage their data estates with greater flexibility and minimal impact to the end-user.
 
Performance and scalability are automatically enhanced via built-in query intelligence. There is choice and flexibility across languages and platforms, including Linux, Windows, and Kubernetes.

Business continuity through Azure
Ensure uptime with fully-managed disaster recovery in the cloud through the link feature in Azure SQL Managed Instance. Continuously replicate data to and from the cloud.

Seamless analytics over on-premise operational data
Drive insights in near real time by breaking the wall between operational and analytical stores, enabling you to analyse all your data using both Spark and SQL runtimes in the cloud with Azure Synapse Link.

Visibility over your entire data estate
Manage and govern your entire data estate to overcome data siloes through SQL Server integration with Azure Purview.

The most secure database over the last 10 years
Achieve your security and compliance goals using the database rated as least vulnerable over the last ten years. Use an immutable ledger to protect data from tampering.

Industry-leading performance and availability
Take advantage of performance and availability improvements for faster queries and to ensure business continuity. Accelerate query performance and tuning with no code changes required. Keep multi-write environments running smoothly when you have users across multiple locations.
