個人的にSQL Server のプレゼンテーションで気になった箇所を抜粋します。
Microsoft touted the benefits of the "conscious design choice" to build the Hekaton technology into SQL Server 2014, with no need for a separate data engine. "Other vendors are either introducing separate in-memory optimized caches or building a unification layer over a set of technologies and introducing it as a completely new product," said Dave Campbell, Microsoft technical fellow, when Hekaton was announced as a coming component of SQL Server 2014 last November. "This adds complexity forcing customers to deploy and manage a completely new product or, worse yet, manage both a 'memory-optimized' product for the hot data and a storage-optimized' product for the application data that is not cost-effective to reside primarily in memory," Campbell said.
マイクロソフト以外の製品は、InMemory 技術といっても、まるで別製品のように組み込むので複雑でよくない。マイクロソフトはInMemory技術であるHekatonを組込み、アプリケーションの変更、別ハードも必要とせず、この技術を可能とするということかな？
The Microsoft exec also noted SQL Server 2014 will include improvements to the AlwaysOn feature, supporting "new scenarios, scale of deployment and ease of adoption."
AlwaysOn の機能改善って一体なんなんでしょう？
