As a low-cost mainstream database, SQL Server 2005 delivers unprecedented value and functionality compared with competitive solutions. It offers a range of features, from high availability and robust scalability to advanced business intelligence tools, designed to empower users across an organization through a more secure, reliable, and productive data management platform. Additionally, with the reduced application downtime, robust scalability and performance, and tight security controls, SQL Server 2005 represents a dramatic step forward in supporting the most demanding enterprise systems in the world. Because SQL Server is part of Windows Server System, customers also receive the added benefits of reduced total cost of ownership and faster development time through the increased manageability and integration that result from the common engineering strategy implemented across Windows Server System products.
The Standard Edition supports up to 4 CPUs, 64-bit machines (depending on edition), and unlimited database size. Standard high-availability tools include database mirroring, failover clustering, backup log-shipping, and online system changes. The Standard Edition also offers a full set of managability, security, and programmability tools.
