SQL Server IoT 2025 is now available. If your products come with a database, you won't want to miss this.
Full SQL Server 2025 â for Embedded and OEM Devices
SQL Server IoT 2025 brings the complete SQL Server 2025 engine to embedded and OEM devices. Same engine. Same security. Same AI, JSON, and vector features. Just packaged and licensed for long-life, fixed-function systems.
What Sets SQL Server IoT 2025 Apart
- AI at the edge â Native vector search, AI integrations, and modern query intelligence, without cloud dependency
- Modern security â Up-to-date cryptography, encryption, and vulnerability protections from day one
- Predictable performance â The same proven SQL Server engine your development team already knows
- No forced cloud dependency â Runs fully on-premises, ideal for air-gapped and offline environments
- Keep your SQL design â No migration of schemas or queries; your existing SQL investments carry forward
- Strong price advantage â Per-device IoT licensing is significantly more cost-effective for OEM deployments than commercial per-core or per-user models
Why It Matters for Device Builders
If you're building devices, appliances, or embedded systems that include a database, SQL Server IoT 2025 simplifies your development stack while giving you access to features that were previously only practical in cloud or enterprise environments.
With a 10-year availability guarantee through the embedded channel, it aligns with the long lifecycles typical in industrial and OEM products â so you can commit to it without worrying about premature EOL.
