For the first time, the power of SQL Server has gone beyond Windows to support Linux and Docker containers. SQL Server 2017, with its support for Linux and Docker, is truly a platform with choice: choice of development languages, data types, and operating systems, all with support for Big Data and advanced analytics. With SQL Server now available on Linux, users can develop once and deploy SQL Server based applications anywhere, from on-premises to the cloud, with a consistent experience.
With the PowerMax Q3 2019 release, SQL Server running on Linux can also leverage supported 32 Gb HBAs for end-to-end NVMe for high demand host applications with best response times.
