With a constantly changing, and increasingly diversifying IT landscape—particularly in terms of heterogeneous operating systems (Linux, Windows, etc.)—IT organizations must contend with multiple data types, different development languages, and a mix of on-premises/cloud/hybrid environments, and somehow simultaneously reduce operational costs. To enable you to choose the best platform for your data and applications, SQL Server 2017 brings its world-class RDBMS to Linux and Windows.

In this white paper, you'll learn more about the SQL Server 2017 on Linux offering and how it provides a broader range of choice for all organizations, not just those who want to run SQL Server on Windows. It enables SQL Server to run in more private, public, and hybrid cloud ecosystems, to be used by developers regardless of programming languages, frameworks, or tools, and further empowers "every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more."
