Microsoft
has once again earned recognition as a leader in the Magic Quadrant for
Operational Database Management Systems (ODBMS) for the 3rd time, based on a
Gartner Inc. assessment.
The Gartner’s assessment of the ODBMS landscape
positions Microsoft as a clear choice and an industry leader in ODBMS. This
implies that, managing Data can be best done with Microsoft, which when stacked
up against others, is furthest to the right on the axis for completeness of
vision, and closest to the top on the axis for the ability to
execute within the Leaders Quadrant.
In a news release following the announcement,
Microsoft stated that: “With the release of SQL Server 2014, the
cornerstone of Microsoft’s Data platform, we have continued to add more value
to what customers are already buying. Innovations like workload optimized
in-memory technology, advanced security, high availability for mission critical
workloads are built-in instead of requiring expensive add-ons.’’
The release added, that, ‘’We have long maintained
that customers need choice and flexibility to navigate this mobile-first,
cloud-first world and that Microsoft is uniquely equipped to deliver on that
vision in both trusted environments on-premises and in the cloud.”
According to Microsoft, a key design point in
Microsoft Data strategy is to ensure that customers’ problems are solved with
ease. “Customers can now manage both structured and unstructured data
through the simplicity of T-SQL rather than requiring a mastery in Hadoop and
MapReduce technologies. This is just one of many examples of how Microsoft
values ease of use as a design point.
“We believe it validates that Microsoft is delivering
a comprehensive platform that ensures every organization, every team and every
individual is empowered to do more and achieve more because of the
data at their fingertips.”
