Today, Microsoft Vietnam collaborated with HP to introduce new SQL Server 2016 data platform solution with comprehensive application in flexible and optimum ways in organisations and enterprises, particularly in regional market.

This set of solutions will bring a secure, stable, high-performance data platform with high compatibility for enterprises that need to solve the problem of information extraction and decision-making, thus stabilising operation and enhancing competitiveness to create a stronger business development opportunity.

Microsoft’s new data platform launching event, a part of the “SQL Server 2016 Data Driven” conference, was organised in Ho Chi Minh City with the participation of large corporate customers, partners and nationwide media.

The world today, from businesses to industries, is strongly controlled by technology. This shift derived from three key trends: the explosion of data, information from machine learning and advanced analytical tools, and the sharp and economic of cloud computing.

Thus, enterprises, organisations having the ability to explore and use data to make smarter business decisions will become outstanding compared to their competitors. The fact proves that ‘data-driven’ exploration and application is top reasons to transform business method and create “business of the future”.

“The integration of cloud, mobility and data is changing the way modern enterprises do business. This is resulting in arisen data-driven demands, which makes business transform into a digital model, transform data into actionable insights, predict the trend and develop new revenues,” said Vu Minh Tri, general director of Microsoft Vietnam.

“Therefore, data analysing and predicting are essential elements that help businesses face with tough competitors and economic uncertainties to survive and develop. This new trend is called ‘data culture’,” Tri added.

Although data power is almost core of modern transactions, the data itself has not been received adequately; the traditional database being stored and used is only at level of order taking and payment process in a simple way to ensure security and efficiency at medium or low level and being stored at businesses.

Modern database is expected to have compatibility to meet learning machines and requirements of advanced fast analysis on real-time data with low latency for activities like forecasting and predicting.

“Besides, new requests are also taken into account such as data management in the cloud, implementing smart software applications like SaaS (Software as a Service). SQL Server 2016 will satisfy and perfectly solve these problems. With the release of SQL Server 2016, Microsoft is delivering an end-to-end data management and business analytics solution with the insights through all the devices for modern problems,” said Vivek Ravindran, director of Product Server and Cloud Service, Microsoft Asia Pacific.

SQL Server 2016 manages both relational and beyond relational (JSON, XML, Hadoop) data, integrates structured data with Hadoop, or integrates on-premises data with cloud data.

SQL Server 2016 is ideal for:

– Mission critical intelligent applications delivering real-time operational intelligence by combining built-in advanced analytics and in-memory technology without having to move the data or impact end user performance;

– Applications requiring the highest levels of security with new Always Encrypted technology that protects your data at rest and in motion without impacting database performance;

– Comprehensive business intelligence solutions on mobile devices with an end-to-end mobile BI solution built-in that can deliver insights on any device. You can also manage all of your KPIs, mobile reports and traditional reports from a modern web portal;

– New big data solutions that require combining relational data with non-relational data with PolyBase technology built-in that allows you to query structured and unstructured data with the simplicity of T-SQL;

– Hybrid cloud solutions that can reduce storage costs, improve high availability and simplify IT operations with new Stretch Database technology. In addition, faster replicas can be placed in Azure to give you cost effective disaster recovery and backups.

“With unique operating features on both cloud and business basis, SQL Server will enable organisations to expand their own clouds, storage on cloud or in the enterprise. New Stretch Database technology will allow customers to back-up old data automatically and securely on SQL Azure with an excellent price and optimized performance,” said Nguyen Ngoc Hai, Cloud and Enterprises lead, Microsoft Vietnam.
