Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard

Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard is the relational database management platform designed for small and medium-sized businesses and organizations looking to equip their internal teams with a reliable, secure, and high-performance data infrastructure. This edition is based on the single server license model, complemented by a client access license (CAL) for each user or device connecting to the SQL Server instance.


Server + CAL vs Per Core — what’s the difference?

The Server + CAL model is especially suitable for organizations with a clearly defined and limited number of internal users—each user or device accessing the server must have a SQL Server 2022 CAL. This model can be more cost-effective for small teams compared to the per core model. However, if your infrastructure receives external connections or a variable number of users, the per core versions are more appropriate: SQL Server 2022 Standard 16 Core and SQL Server 2022 Standard 24 Core are available as digital licenses on Licence24.ch.


Who is it for?

SQL Server 2022 Standard Server + CAL is aimed at micro, small, and medium-sized businesses and IT teams with a defined number of internal users who want to deploy a relational database without the costs of a per core license. It is the ideal solution for internal applications, management tools, business databases, and environments where access is restricted to a group of identified users.
