Microsoft SQL Server 2025 Enterprise: The Core of Modern AI

Microsoft SQL Server 2025 Enterprise is the first database engine from Microsoft designed for the AI-first enterprise. The 32-Core configuration provides massive compute power for mission-critical applications, enabling high-performance online transaction processing (OLTP) alongside real-time AI workloads. This version introduces native vector support, allowing you to store and query high-dimensional embeddings directly within T-SQL, eliminating the need for separate vector databases for your RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) applications.

Key Features Defining Enterprise Scalability

• Native Vector & Semantic Search: Includes the new VECTOR data type and vector functions to perform similarity searches with sub-millisecond latency.

• In-Database AI Inference: Directly execute ONNX models or call external REST endpoints (like Azure OpenAI) using simple T-SQL commands.

• Enhanced Native JSON: A dedicated JSON storage type that is up to 3x faster than using traditional string-based storage, with built-in indexing support.

• Optimized Locking & Concurrency: New mechanisms significantly reduce "blocking" in high-concurrency environments, allowing all 32 cores to work at peak efficiency.

• Zero-ETL Fabric Mirroring: Instantly replicate your data into Microsoft Fabric for unified analytics without building complex data pipelines.

• Advanced High Availability: Features Always On availability groups with faster failover times and improved diagnostics for mission-critical uptime.

• Unlimited Virtualization: Licensing all physical cores on a server with Enterprise Edition + Software Assurance grants you the right to run unlimited virtual machines on that hardware.
