It wasn’t long ago that many organizations were investing in on-premises analytical workloads but that trend has significantly shifted to cloud-based services in recent years. The expansion and innovation of cloud capabilities have greatly accelerated analytics and data science initiatives. According to the Gartner report Over 100 Data and Analytics Predictions through 2025, "Increasingly, data and analytics has become a primary driver of business strategy, and the potential for data-driven business strategies and information products is greater than ever. This is particularly in response to the continuing situation with COVID-19, which has been an accelerant for digital transformation and data-driven business."
At the end of February 2022, Microsoft coupled four announcements into a release showcasing the future roadmap of SQL Server based on the data evolution:
Microsoft further states in the release, “If you wish to run analytics on-premises, SQL Server 2022 also provides important new capabilities, building upon its data virtualization suite of connectors by providing object storage integration over REST APIs.” They go on to say, “Integrating SQL Server with cloud analytics solutions is a critical capability, which is why we are introducing Azure Synapse Link for SQL Server 2022, the latest release of SQL Server, which will be generally available to purchase later this year. This is a major investment in helping you realize cloud-scale analytics in near real-time on your operational data.”
