Microsoft SQL Server 2012 is the next major release of Microsoft SQL Server and related components. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 will provide customers with higher levels of performance, availability and scalability, compared to previous versions.

Amazon Web Services provides companies with a cloud infrastructure that enables them to run applications, including databases, in the cloud, allowing them to replace up-front capital infrastructure expenses with low variable costs that scale with their business. With the AWS Cloud, companies no longer need to plan for and procure servers and other IT infrastructure weeks or months in advance.

Microsoft has collaborated with AWS to allow customers to easily deploy and run SQL Server 2012 on Amazon Web Services*. With AWS, companies can utilize the cloud to easily test the new functionality and features of SQL Server 2012, without having to purchase and manage hardware. This provides customers with faster time to evaluation, without any of the complexity related to setting up and configuring a test lab for beta software.
