, SQL SERVER PROPOSAL 2
SQL Server 2012 Corporate Proposal
Overview
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal on behalf of McWhorter
Consulting. Our recommendation is that Shiv Corp transitions their systems from MySql to SQL
Server 2012. This proposal provides details for the transition, system requirements, data
security, performance monitoring, and a back-up plan in case of system outage or failure.
Which Edition Should you Choose?
There are a number of editions and versions of SQL server 2012 for a company
to choose from and utilize. The editions range in functionality and size and include, Express,
Web, Standard, Enterprise, and Business intelligence. It is our recommendation that Shiv
Corporation utilizes the Enterprise edition. This version of SQL Server 2012 is the most in
depth, it contains all of the tools necessary to run a in depth SQL program without having to
purchase additional software. The other editions are all reasonable options, but will not be
all inclusive of the items that the company may need in order to operate and ensure there is no
impact to their daily productivity. Though these options from a start up cost may be cheaper, we
believe that the overall start up investment will save money in the future when compared to the
other editions of SQL Server 2012.
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition is the better option over the standard version as it
will provide more functionality for Shiv Corporation. SQL Server 2012 Enterprise allows for
more than 64GB of memory per instance which will help stabilize and ensure enough memory is
