SQL Server 2022 is the newest version of SQL Server database for Microsoft. This document focuses on data analytics and data protection aspects of the features introduced in SQL Server 2022. For example, Polybase and backup and recovery of databases using S3-compatible Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS).
3rd Gen EPYC with 3D V-Cache is the new AMD EPYC processor with 3D V-Cache technology. It is the first CPU with 3D chiplet technology. This processor has three times the L3 cache than the standard 3rd Gen EPYC processors and is well suited for analytic workloads.
The goal of this white paper is to provide solution insights for data engineers, data scientists, and architects who will be running analytic workloads using SQL Server 2022 with object storage. The underlying infrastructure for this workload includes Dell PowerEdge servers with AMD EPYC 7473X processors, ECS, and PowerStore array.
