This morning, during my keynote at the Professional Association of SQL Server (PASS) Summit<\/a> 2013, I discussed how customers are pushing the boundaries <\/em>of what\u2019s possible for businesses today using the advanced technologies in our data platform. It was my pleasure to announce the second Community Technology Preview (CTP2) of SQL Server 2014<\/a> which features breakthrough performance with In-Memory OLTP and simplified backup and disaster recovery in Windows Azure.<\/p>\n

Pushing the boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are pushing the boundaries of our data platform with breakthrough performance, cloud capabilities and the pace of delivery to our customers. Last year at PASS Summit, we announced our In-Memory OLTP project \u201cHekaton\u201d and since then released SQL Server 2012 Parallel Data Warehouse<\/a> and public previews of Windows Azure HDInsight and Power BI for Office 365<\/a>. Today we have SQL Server 2014 CTP2, our public and production-ready release shipping a mere 18 months after SQL Server 2012.<\/p>\n

Our drive to push the boundaries comes from recognizing that the world around data is changing.<\/p>\n
