Manage Big Data sets even more efficiently with SQL Server 2017 CAL
On October 2, 2017, Microsoft introduced SQL Server 2017 to the market. This modern database management system has once again become significantly faster compared to the 2016 version. One of the special features is that SQL Server 2017 now also supports various Linux distributions. Of course, the data can again be stored locally, via the network or in an Azure cloud. Thanks to SQL VM Azure, it is even possible to perform database queries directly in the cloud. Another innovation is the implementation of the programming languages R and Python. In addition to other database optimizations, the T-SQL query language is of course also included. If you buy this SQL Server, you should also buy at least one access license for SQL Server 2017 CAL at the same time. This is the only way to ensure that your employees can work safely and efficiently with the database module. Please note that there are two different license models. Here with us you can order your SQL Server 2017 CAL license as an addon at low prices.
What do you need SQL Server 2017 CAL for?
The development of Microsoft SQL Server is quite complex. Therefore, the manufacturer has built his system modularly in terms of licensing. On the one hand, at least one license is needed for the actual database. However, in order to be able to access the Big Data records, the users at their workstations also need a license. Only then can all the functions of the modern database management system be executed. When you buy your SQL Server 2017, you should therefore also think about the other access authorizations. This makes it easy to determine the desired data records, change them if necessary, save them, analyze them and create the corresponding reports from them. Microsoft has released two different client access licenses for its SQL Server 2017 in the form of SQL Server 2017 User CAL and Device CAL. In the following, we will briefly explain the differences.
What to look for when purchasing SQL Server 2017 User CAL
Every employee who has to process and evaluate data in your SQL database for you as an entrepreneur needs a corresponding access license for this purpose. As the name suggests, User CAL is a licensing model that is registered for individuals. Let's assume that your sales office manager needs to update and save customer master data on a regular basis. In this case he needs his own User CAL. It does not matter whether he enters the data at his workplace in the company or whether he works from home in his home office. Another example is an insurance employee who needs to access stored company data while on the road. In this case, he also needs his own User CAL for his work. With a SQL Server 2017 User CAL, the corresponding authorized persons can access both the application server and the web server in equal measure. However, there is another option.
You may want to purchase a SQL Server 2017 Device CAL
As you learned earlier, your employees will be provided with a User CAL if they need to access your database system. In many businesses, extensive Big Data records need to be entered and maintained. Often one employee is overloaded with this. Therefore, shift work is usually introduced. Your staff can then do the required work on the database in the morning and in the afternoon at a screen workstation. However, you do not need the corresponding licenses for your personnel, but can license the digital terminals instead. This is often more cost-effective, as several people can work on one PC over time. In this case SQL Server 2017 Device CAL is the right solution for you. With it, you assign an access license to a PC, a laptop, a tablet or even a smart printer, for example. Thus, it does not matter who ultimately works with this end device. The license refers exclusively to the device. It is therefore understandable that many entrepreneurs opt for a Device CAL. Exceptions are one-person companies or freelancers who do not have any additional staff. Regardless of which license type you need, you can order your suitable SQL Server 2017 CAL here with us at reasonable prices.
