Microsoft SQL Server is designed to help your organization manage any data, any place, at any time. With it, you can store data from structured, semi-structured, and unstructured documents, such as images and music, directly within the database. Microsoft SQL Server delivers a rich set of integrated services that enable you to do more with your data, such as query, search, synchronize, report and analyze. Your data can be stored and accessed in your largest servers within the data center all the way down to desktops and mobile devices, giving you complete control over your data no matter where it is stored.

Microsoft SQL Server also enables you to consume your data within custom applications developed using Microsoft .NET and Visual Studio and within your service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process through Microsoft BizTalk Server while information workers can access data directly in the tools they use every day, such as the Microsoft Office system. Microsoft SQL Server delivers a trusted, productive and intelligent data platform for all your data needs.
