SQL Server 2016 CAL makes database access even easier

Many companies have to process and manage extensive data sets. These include customer data, article lists, accounting data as well as production data. In order to manage Big Data records efficiently, companies can purchase SQL Server 2016, for example. This database management system has an even greater speed advantage compared to the previous version. To make it even easier for authorized users to access the database module, at least one SQL Server 2016 CAL access license is also required. This is again a client access solution that is available in two different versions. If you too are looking for simplified access for your database for your employees, you can buy SQL Server 2016 CAL here at reasonable prices.

What is SQL Server 2016 CAL?

You usually buy a Windows Server 2016 for your company, so that the daily data management runs even more efficiently. However, you have to separate the actual database from the handling or operation. A separate licensing is required for each access. With an appropriate CAL solution, your employees thus have the possibility to maintain data, perform analyses and also create reports. The data records can be stored in the company network, on local computers and in the cloud. SQL Server 2016 supports the in-memory function, which allows complete tables and databases to be loaded into the main memory. This further increases access speed. The client access solutions provide helpful support for this and therefore simplify the operation of the SQL database. If you want to buy a SQL Server, you should therefore not do without SQL Server 2016 CAL in this case. We would like to briefly introduce the two different add-ons below.

SQL Server 2016 User CAL is aimed at your employees

If you purchase the SQL Server 2016 User CAL addon, each employee with access rights will receive their own license. This allows them to access your company database in the office, on the road or from the home office. This, of course, is where the advantage of a cloud solution comes into play. The preferred employees may work in accounting, sales or even production. Here, it doesn't matter which end device your employees are using. Each licensee can modify their data, analyze it and create the appropriate reports from it. Each user thus has the possibility to make his database queries on the application or web server. In short, SQL Server 2016 User CAL is aimed exclusively at people who are provided with an appropriate license. However, there is another option.

Maybe you should buy SQL Server 2016 Device CAL

Besides User CAL, there is another addon as SQL Server 2016 Device CAL. In this case, no specific person is licensed, but any end device. This can be a monitor workstation, a notebook, a tablet or any other digital end device. The advantage is that in this case anyone with authorized access can use this device. In some offices, shift work may be set up. In the mornings and afternoons, different employees may work at the same monitor workstation. This ensures full machine utilization. The input of large Big Data sets can thus be spread over the time of several employees. This is particularly efficient, so many business owners prefer to have their endpoints licensed rather than specific individuals. In this case, you should purchase SQL Server 2016 Device CAL. Depending on whether you want to license your employees or rather a PC, you can buy your corresponding CAL solution here in the store at an attractive price-performance ratio.
