Mejora de la seguridad para el puerto de Paracas en Perú.
Para cumplir con los altos requisitos de seguridad en el puerto de Paracas en Perú, recientemente se instalaron cámaras MIC IP ultra 7100i de Bosch en unos diez mástiles de 40 metros de altura. Los operadores portuarios buscaban una solución de videoseguridad que permitiera una vigilancia fiable y de alta resolución de una superficie de 11 hectáreas, incluso en las condiciones climáticas adversas típicas de la región, como vientos tormentosos y aire extremadamente salado. “Nuestras cámaras anteriores de otro proveedor no cumplieron con nuestras expectativas. Eso representaba un riesgo importante para la seguridad, ya que no estábamos técnicamente equipados para detectar de manera confiable a intrusos y sus potenciales actividades criminales en áreas sensibles relacionadas con la carga o descarga de mercancías en la terminal portuaria y tomar las medidas necesarias”, explica César Rojas, Gerente de Operaciones. en el puerto de Paracas.
Solución para afrontar los desafíos especiales de la seguridad portuaria
Gracias a las cámaras MIC IP ultra 7100i de Bosch con resolución UHD (4K), zoom 12x y estabilización óptica de imagen (OIS), el equipo de gestión del puerto ha encontrado una solución que ahora satisface todas sus necesidades. Las cámaras MIC son dispositivos móviles de giro, inclinación y zoom (PTZ). La panorámica, la inclinación y el zoom remotos desde una sala de control les brindan una excelente cobertura de grandes áreas. Estas características técnicas convencieron al equipo directivo. “Gracias a la ultra alta definición, podemos detectar intrusos y ver lo que están haciendo con gran detalle por primera vez. Gracias a la estabilización óptica de la imagen, esto ocurre incluso si los mástiles con las cámaras montadas se mueven a una altura de 40 metros con fuertes vientos o si hacemos un zoom de hasta 12x en el aire muy salado”, dice Rojas sobre el terreno accidentado y alto rendimiento de las cámaras Bosch.
Las cámaras inteligentes llevan la seguridad al siguiente nivel
Las cámaras MIC que se utilizan pueden incluso entrenarse para reconocer objetos objetivo especificados por el usuario (tanto estacionarios como en movimiento) para alertar automáticamente al personal de seguridad del puerto sobre actividad inusual. Este seguimiento inteligente basado en IA también permite determinar la posición exacta de los objetos para que, en caso de una emergencia, el personal pueda llegar más rápidamente al lugar correcto.

Desde que lanzamos Microsoft 365 (anteriormente Office 365) para consumidores en 2013, hemos ido aportando nuevas aplicaciones, características y beneficios a nuestros suscriptores de forma constante. Esto incluye seguridad avanzada con Microsoft Defender, herramientas creativas como Clipchamp o numerosas mejoras en aplicaciones de productividad Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote y Outlook.
Estamos construyendo sobre esos 12 años de innovación al llevar Microsoft Copilot y Microsoft Designer a los suscriptores de Microsoft 365 Personal y Microsoft 365 Familia en la mayoría de los mercados a nivel mundial1. Estos cambios traen consigo el potencial transformador de la IA a las herramientas de productividad personal que millones de personas usan todos los días. Estos cambios solo se aplican a los planes de suscripción para consumidores.
Nuestro plan siempre ha sido hacer que Copilot sea más accesible para un público más amplio en las aplicaciones de Microsoft 365 a un buen precio. Para ello, hemos planificado varios pasos en nuestro viaje con Copilot para escuchar, aprender y mejorar la usabilidad y el rendimiento. En enero de 2024, comenzamos este camino al lanzar Microsoft Copilot Pro para nuestros usuarios avanzados, y descubrimos que el acceso a Copilot en las aplicaciones de Microsoft 365 es una de las principales razones por las que las personas se suscriben. En octubre lanzamos un piloto con los cambios que estamos anunciando hoy para un pequeño grupo de mercados. Hoy, damos oficialmente el siguiente gran paso al hacer de Copilot parte de nuestras suscripciones de Microsoft 365 Personal y Familia. Ahora, la mayoría de nuestros 84 millones de suscriptores podrán acceder a Copilot en Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote y en la renombrada Microsoft 365 Copilot app. Estamos encantados de empoderar a millones de nuestros clientes con un asistente de IA que potencia las aplicaciones de productividad que ya conocen y disfrutan. Continuaremos ofreciendo Copilot Pro para consumidores con necesidades de un uso más amplio, junto con Microsoft 365 Copilot, nuestra oferta comercial, para organizaciones de todos los tamaños.
La productividad y la creatividad están en el corazón de Microsoft 365. Ahora con la integración de Copilot en nuestras aplicaciones, puedes contar con un asistente de IA que hace tu vida más fácil (y divertida). Aquí tienes cinco escenarios para probar con Copilot:
1.¿Necesitas ayuda con la preparación de comidas para la semana? Con Copilot en Word, solo hay que escribir tus preferencias alimenticias y las porciones que deseas, y Copilot creará una receta adaptada lista para cocinar.
2.¿Quieres actualizar tu presupuesto familiar para el nuevo año? Pídele a Copilot en Excel que analice tu hoja de presupuesto actual, te ofrezca ideas y te ayude a comenzar 2025 con buen pie.
3.¿Intentas armar una presentación sobre tus vacaciones de invierno para compartirla con tu familia y amigos? Pídele a Copilot en PowerPoint algunos detalles sobre tus vacaciones y observa cómo genera el flujo narrativo, las diapositivas y el diseño, luego solo será necesario añadir tus fotos favoritas.
4.¿Tienes un montón de correos atrasados de las vacaciones? No te preocupes, Copilot en Outlook puede resumir hilos de correos largos para que puedas continuar con tu trabajo.
5.¿Tienes una lista de cosas que quieres hacer este año? Copilot en OneNote puede organizarla resumiendo, reescribiendo o creando una lista de tareas para ti.
Además, estamos incorporando nuestra nueva aplicación, Microsoft Designer, a Microsoft 365 Personal y Familia, para que los suscriptores puedan generar más creaciones y ediciones de imágenes que nuestros usuarios gratuitos. Además de acceder a Designer dentro de aplicaciones como Word y PowerPoint, también puedes usar la aplicación independiente en la web y en dispositivos móviles. Designer funciona para crear imágenes llamativas simplemente describiendo lo que buscas o eligiendo entre ideas prediseñadas. Además, edita fotos con IA eliminando objetos no deseados fácilmente. Aquí tienes dos escenarios para probar con Designer:
1.¿Hiciste fotos de las vacaciones con elementos que no te gustan? Abre Designer, sube tu foto y edítala con IA. Puedes seleccionar objetos no deseados y ver cómo Designer los elimina de la foto.
2.¿Estás creando un libro de recetas y quieres darle vida? Describe tu plato y Copilot en Word usará Designer para crear una imagen única que complemente tu receta.
Los suscriptores de Microsoft 365 Personal y Familia recibirán una asignación mensual de créditos de IA para utilizar Copilot en Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook y OneNote. Los créditos también pueden usarse para la generación y edición de imágenes en Designer y en otras aplicaciones con IA como Paint, Photos y Notepad en Windows. La asignación mensual debería ser suficiente para la mayoría de los suscriptores. Para los suscriptores de Microsoft 365 Familia, Copilot estará disponible solo para el titular de la suscripción y no podrá compartirse con el resto de usuarios. Aquellos que usen Copilot con frecuencia pueden actualizar a Copilot Pro, sin preocuparse por los límites de uso. Puedes conocer más sobre los créditos de IA aquí
También nos comprometemos a dar a nuestros clientes control sobre su experiencia. Somos conscientes de que hay ocasiones en las que no se desea contar con asistencia de la IA (como en ciertos escenarios académicos), por lo que estamos añadiendo configuraciones en aplicaciones como Word, Excel y PowerPoint que permiten desactivar o activar Copilot según sea necesario.
Para reflejar los grandes beneficios que hemos añadido a la suscripción durante los últimos 12 años y poder ofrecer innovaciones durante los próximos años, aumentaremos los precios de las suscripciones de Microsoft 365 Personal y Familia por primera vez desde su lanzamiento, con un incremento de tres euros al mes (consulta el detalle de los planes de precios para España aquí). Los suscriptores actuales no verán el aumento hasta su próxima renovación.
Entendemos que nuestros clientes tienen diversas necesidades y presupuestos, por lo que nos comprometemos a ofrecer diferentes opciones. Los suscriptores actuales con facturación recurrente pueden cambiar a planes sin Copilot ni créditos de IA, como nuestro Plan Básico. También podrán cambiar, por tiempo limitado, a los nuevos planes Personal Classic o Familia Classic . Estos planes seguirán existiendo tal como están hoy, pero para acceder a ciertas innovaciones y características nuevas necesitarás una suscripción a Microsoft 365 Personal y Familia.
Somos conscientes de que nuestros clientes tienen preguntas sobre la privacidad de la IA, por ejemplo, sobre cómo entrenamos nuestros propios modelos de Inteligencia Artificial. La transparencia es uno de nuestros seis principios de IA responsable y por ello estamos compartiendo más detalles sobre este tema. Para garantizar tu privacidad, no usamos el contenido de tus archivos (como documentos de Word o hojas de Excel), ni tus solicitudes o respuestas, cuando utilizas Copilot en las aplicaciones de Microsoft 365 para entrenar nuestros modelos base.
Los usuarios ya suscritos a Microsoft 365 Personal y Familia recibirán, en la mayoría de los mercados, automáticamente acceso a Copilot en sus aplicaciones una vez actualicen a la última versión.
Si aún no eres suscriptor de Microsoft 365 Personal o Familia, puedes registrarte directamente desde Microsoft o a través de tu minorista favorito.

The increasing adoption of AI technologies is presenting new challenges for our customers’ data estate and applications. Most organizations expect to deploy AI workloads across a hybrid mix of cloud, edge, and dedicated infrastructure, with privacy and security being more important than ever.
Microsoft SQL Server 2025, now in preview, is an enterprise AI-ready database from ground to cloud that tackles these challenges by bringing AI to customers’ data. This release continues SQL Server’s three decades of innovation in performance and security, adding new AI capabilities. With Microsoft Fabric integration, customers can bring their data into the next generation of data analytics. The release supports hybrid environments across clouds, on-premises datacenters, and edge, leveraging Microsoft Azure innovation for customers’ databases.
Over the years, SQL Server has transcended well beyond a traditional relational database. With the latest release of SQL Server, we’re enabling customers to build AI applications deeply integrated with the SQL engine. SQL Server 2025 is transforming into a vector database in its own right, using the built-in filtering capabilities along with a vector search, with great performance and is easily consumable by developers using T-SQL.
Apply for the preview of Microsoft SQL Server 2025
This new version has AI built-in, simplifying AI application development and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns with secure, performant, and easy-to-use vector support, leveraging familiar T-SQL syntax. With this new capability, you can combine vectors with your SQL data for a hybrid AI vector search.
SQL Server 2025 is an enterprise-ready vector database with built-in security and compliance, bringing enterprise AI to your data. It features a native vector store and index powered by DiskANN, a vector search technology using disk storage to efficiently find similar data points in large datasets. These databases efficiently support chunking and enable accurate data retrieval through semantic searching. In this latest SQL Server version, flexible AI model management within the engine using Representational State Transfer (REST) interfaces allows you to use AI models from ground to cloud.
In addition, whether customers are working on data preprocessing, model training, or RAG patterns, extensible, low-code tools offer flexible model interfaces within the SQL engine, supported by T-SQL and external REST endpoints. These tools enhance developers’ ability to create various AI applications through seamless integration with popular AI frameworks like LangChain, Semantic Kernel, and Entity Framework Core.
When building data-intensive applications such as AI applications, it’s critical to focus on extensibility, frameworks, and data enrichment to enhance developers’ productivity. We ensure SQL will provide a best-in-class experience for developers by incorporating features such as REST API support, GraphQL integration through Data API Builder, and Regular Expression enablement. Additionally, native JSON support enables developers to more effectively deal with frequently changing schema and hierarchical data, facilitating the creation of more dynamic applications. Overall, we’re enhancing SQL development to be more extensible, performant, and user-friendly. All functionalities are underpinned by the security provided by the SQL Server engine, making it a truly enterprise-ready platform for AI.
SQL Server 2025 is an industry leader in database security and performance. Support for Microsoft Entra managed identities improves credential management, reduces potential vulnerabilities, and provides compliance and auditing capabilities. SQL Server 2025 introduces outbound authentication support for MSI (Managed Service Identity) for SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc.
We’re also introducing performance and availability enhancements, extensively battle-tested on Microsoft Azure SQL, to SQL Server. In the new version you can boost workload performance and reduce troubleshooting with enhanced query optimization and query performance execution. Optional Parameter Plan Optimization (OPPO) is designed to enable SQL Server to choose the optimal execution plan based on customer-provided runtime parameter values and to significantly reduce bad parameter sniffing problems that can exist in workloads. Persisted statistics on secondary replicas prevent the loss of statistics during a restart or failover, thereby avoiding potential performance degradation. Regarding query execution, the improvements in batch mode processing and columnstore indexing further establish SQL Server as a mission-critical database for analytical workloads.
Optimized locking reduces lock memory consumption and minimizes blocking for concurrent transactions through Transaction ID (TID) Locking and Lock After Qualification (LAQ). This capability enables customers to increase uptime and enhance concurrency and scale for SQL Server applications.
Change event streaming for SQL Server brings real-time application integration with event driven architectures, command query responsibility segregation, and real-time intelligence. This will add new database engine capabilities to capture and publish incremental changes to data and schema to a provided destination such as Azure Event Hubs and Kafka in near real-time.
In traditional data warehouse and data lake scenarios, integrating all your data involves designing, monitoring, and managing complex ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes to transfer operational data from SQL Server. These traditional methods do not support real-time data transfer, resulting in latency that prevents the creation of real-time analytics. Microsoft Fabric offers comprehensive, integrated, and AI-enhanced data analytics services designed to meet modern requirements of analytical workloads. Mirrored SQL Server Database in Fabric is a fully managed, resilient process that simplifies SQL Server data replication to Microsoft OneLake in near real-time. Mirroring will enable customers to continuously replicate data from SQL Server databases running on Azure virtual machines or outside of Azure, serving online transaction processing (OLTP) or operational store workloads directly into OneLake in order to facilitate analytics and insights on the unified Fabric data platform.
Azure continues to be a critical component of SQL Server. With Azure Arc, SQL Server 2025 will continue to offer cloud capabilities to enable customers better manage, secure, and govern their SQL estate at scale across on-premises and cloud. Capabilities like automatic patching, automatic backups, monitoring, and Best Practices Assessment offer customers more ways to streamline routine tasks and further enhance their business continuity. In addition, Azure Arc simplifies SQL Server licensing by offering a pay-as-you-go option, bringing flexibility and licensing visibility to our customers.

Introducing the new centrally managed Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server.
Today, Microsoft is pleased to announce the release of centrally managed Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server, a new Azure portal feature that helps you improve SQL Server license management at multiple levels, including at account(s) and subscription levels, so you can ensure you are making the most out of your investments with the Microsoft SQL Server platform.
Having full visibility into your SQL Server estate can help optimize your costs, as it enables the ability to track your SQL Server with Software Assurance license utilization against Azure Hybrid Benefit, so you can identify additional licenses to maximize cost savings. Just to give you an idea, you can save up to 93 percent more than SQL Server on AWS Relational Database Service (RDS) by using your Software Assurance-enabled SQL Server licenses on Azure through Azure Hybrid Benefit.1
Azure Hybrid Benefit is a licensing benefit that is unique to Microsoft customers. Azure Hybrid Benefit allows you to apply your existing SQL Server licenses covered by Software Assurance for discounted rates on Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance licenses when you decide to move to Microsoft Azure.
Now, with the new centrally managed Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server you have an easier way to leverage this benefit, as you can apply Azure Hybrid Benefit to SQL Server licenses to Azure at scale. Just one administrator can spend a few minutes assigning a single block of licenses across an entire Azure subscription or billing account, just to give you an example. And proactive notifications are available when license assignments need to be refreshed, so you can apply SQL Server Enterprise and Standard Edition core licenses together to cover Azure SQL resources and continue optimizing your costs.
An administrator can monitor Azure Hybrid Benefit utilization and directly adjust licenses assigned to Azure. For example, an administrator might see an opportunity to save more money by assigning more licenses to Azure. Then they speak with their procurement department to confirm license availability. Finally, they can easily assign the licenses to Azure and start saving.
Here’s a snapshot of how the new centrally managed Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server works:
With the new centrally managed Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server you can also better manage costs during usage spikes, as you can easily scale up the same resource or add more resources during temporary spikes. You don’t need to assign more SQL Server licenses (for example, closing periods or increased holiday shopping). For short-lived workload spikes, pay-as-you-go charges for the extra capacity might cost less than acquiring more licenses to use Azure Hybrid Benefit for the capacity. Managing the benefit at a scope, rather than at a resource-level, helps you to decide based on aggregate usage.
As data governance becomes paramount to businesses across industries, having control over your database licenses can also help you best respond to internal audits and other compliance requirements, as it provides a comprehensive view of your SQL Server environment. The new centrally managed Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server helps you gain confidence in compliance as it increases visibility into license allocation and limits the number of roles who can apply licenses to Azure Hybrid Benefit. In the resource-level Azure Hybrid Benefit model, resource owners might select Azure Hybrid Benefit when there are no licenses available. Or they might not select the benefit when there are licenses available. Scope-level management of Azure Hybrid Benefit solves this situation. The billing admins that manage the benefit centrally are positioned to confirm with procurement and software asset management departments how many licenses are available to assign to Azure. The following diagram illustrates the point.
More control over your estate enables you to help put your organization in a good position to sustain compliance moving forward.
This new experience is available for Microsoft customers with SQL Server Enterprise and Standard Edition core licenses with Software Assurance or core subscription licenses starting April, 26, 2023. You can access this new capability through the Azure Portal, under Cost Management, Reservations and Hybrid Benefit. First, confirm that all your SQL Server Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) are visible to you and Azure by enabling automatic registration of the self-installed SQL Server images with the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) extension tool. For more information, see Register multiple SQL VMs in Azure with the SQL IaaS Agent extension.
