What's new in SQL Server 2014

Some information on the new features / enhancements  introduced in SQL Server 2014:

Allows tables and stored procedures to move to memory to drastically reduce IO and improve performance many times over. Microsoft provide the Analysis, Migrate and Report (AMR) tool that identifies objects that would benefit from being moved into memory.

AlwaysOn Availability Groups:
SQL Server now supports up to 8 secondary replicas (as opposed to 4 in SQL 2012), and secondary replicas are available for read only workloads even when the primary replica is unavailable. Now also supports using Azure for asynchronous replicas for high availability / disaster recovery scenarios.
