   • In-Memory OLTP (Hekaton) accelerates transaction processing by storing data in memory, offering significant performance improvements for high-volume, transaction-heavy applications.
2. Columnstore Indexes:
   • Columnstore Indexes improve performance for data warehousing and analytics workloads, reducing storage requirements and speeding up large dataset retrieval for reporting and business intelligence.
3. Always Encrypted Security:
   • With Always Encrypted, sensitive data is encrypted at all times—both at rest and in transit—without compromising performance, offering stronger data protection and control over encryption keys.
4. AlwaysOn Availability Groups:
   • AlwaysOn Availability Groups enhance high availability and disaster recovery, providing multi-database failover and ensuring minimal disruption for mission-critical applications.
5. Backup to Azure:
   • Backup to Azure allows direct backup of databases to Microsoft Azure, ensuring cloud-based data protection and providing options for backup compression to reduce storage costs and speed up recovery times.
6. Data Compression and Storage Optimization:
   • Reduce storage needs and improve system performance with data compression, ensuring efficient data storage and quicker data retrieval.
7. Improved Query Performance:
   • The Cardinality Estimator enhances query performance by delivering more accurate execution plans, especially for complex and large datasets, ensuring faster data retrieval.
8. Cloud Integration with Microsoft Azure:
   • SQL Server 2014 seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Azure, enabling hybrid cloud configurations that scale across on-premises and cloud environments for greater flexibility and business continuity.
9. Resource Governor for Optimal Resource Management:
   • Resource Governor helps allocate system resources efficiently, ensuring optimal performance by controlling CPU and memory usage for mission-critical applications.
10. Enhanced Management with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS):
    • The SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) interface is improved for easier database management, configuration, and optimization, helping administrators streamline database operations.
