There are 3 factors that can transform Microsoft Sql Server 2014 into a real game changer and I'll go through each of them in brief details below :

1. Mission-Critical Performance

New In-Memory OLTP capabilities built into the SQL Server 2014 database engine can result in significantly improved database application performance. In-Memory OLTP enables performance benefits without having to refresh your hardware. Use of main memory can result in significant performance gains – up to 30x faster, with an average 10x improvement; 

2. Platform for Hybrid Cloud

SQL Server 2014 provides an important component of the Microsoft hybrid IT value proposition: Connect today’s on-premise IT environment to the cloud. Hybrid solutions can be tailored to meet your needs: Run code both on-premise and in the cloud, run in the cloud using on-premise data, or run entirely in the cloud leveraging more than one datacenter. These scenarios enable you to move to the cloud at your own pace while preserving the value of legacy IT investments. SQL Server 2014 enables you to consume cloud services on your terms.

3. Faster Insight from Any Data

SQL Server provides the foundation for the Microsoft BI platform through a comprehensive collection of services and content types that bring you faster insights across a wide range of analytical and data visualization applications, including Excel, Power View, Data Explorer, and business reports. Analysis Services, Data Mining, Reporting Services, Power View, and Power Pivot provide end-to-end services that power BI solutions across the enterprise. With each release and on every platform, you see deeper integration between Windows Azure, Office 365, SQL Server, SharePoint, and Office. SQL Server 2014 is no exception. In this release, familiar applications and data visualizations are available on more devices and formats.
