Relational database service

• SQL Server technology foundation

• Highly symmetrical

• Highly scaled

• Highly secure

Database “as a Service” – beyond hosting

Highly scaled out relational database as a service

Database

SQL Azure Service Provisioning> Each account has zero or more servers

> Azure wide, provisioned in a common portal

> Billing instrument

> Each server has one or more databases> Contains metadata about the databases

> Unit of authentication and security

> Unit of Geo-location

> The server is a logical grouping of your DBs

> Each database has standard SQL objects> Unit of consistency

> Contains users, tables, views, indices, etc…

Our goal is to provide the best end-to-end experience forenterprise departmental apps and SaaS ISV scenarios

Improve Tools• For Developers & Designers to build apps• For Administrators to manage the database lifecycle

SQL Azure Database: Future

Tools, Clients, Languages

Today With the existing SQL Server ecosystem we have a fantastic start for our V1 offering VS, SSMS, ADO.NET, ADO.NET Data Services, PHP,

Java…

But we are also making huge investments for the future

Our goal is to provide the best end-to-end experience forenterprise departmental apps and SaaS ISV scenarios

Database BackupsFailure Scenario Solution When Responsible

Party

HW and Media failures

Multiple replicas of all databases with automatic failover. System backups for additional protection

Today SQL Azure - Built-in to the base service

Customer application or administrator errors leading to data loss

Use BCP, SSIS or other custom tools to backup data Today Customer

Database clone to create on-demand, backups of databases in the local or remote SQL Azure region

• Cloning is done with transactional consistency

• When clone operation is complete the replica is accessible as a normal database

Improve the application programming model• Simplify the building of highly scalable applications• Further improve symmetry with on-premises SQL Server

Scale-out Support - Today

Classic scale-out challenges addressed by SQL Azure:

Highly available service on top of commodity hardware Zero administration cost of cluster HW, OS and SW No downtime Access to elastic pool of resources Pay as you grow No-friction provisioning of databases Create databases without ever running out of HW
