Microsoft SQL server one of the most used software in the industry to provide database services and accessibility of information, is about to get a new version, with the newer version being the development stage.

The new SQL server vNext has been given the name of yet another mountain following its tradition, as Denali , which means “the great one”. It was announced in may ’09 that SQL server 2008 R2 would be the name given to SQL server Kilimanjaro, the predecessor of Denali. The Denali also happens to be the highest mountain in North America at 6.2 Km about the sea level.

As of now the company is in the final stages of the development of SQL server R2 and meanwhile the successor to it is to be released in May ’10.
