SCOM Zombie PSA#27: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Release Candidate (RC)

I am not 100% sure when Microsoft released SQL Server 2012 Release Candidate (RC). And you can download it once you register for it. I am very interested in learning if System Center Operations Manager 2012 will play nice with it, and I don’t think there will be any support for OpsMgr 2007 R2. Here is what they have to say about it.

“SQL Server 2012 will deliver mission-critical confidence with AlwaysOn availability for faster failover and greater hardware utilization and in-memory ColumnStore for 10x the data warehouse performance gains. SQL Server 2012 will also enable breakthrough insights with business intelligence solutions such as Power View for stunning, interactive data visualizations and enhancements to PowerPivot. Lastly, SQL Server 2012 will uniquely support hybrid IT environments with common management and development tools, scale elastically, and extend applications directly to the cloud through SQL Azure.”
