Azure SQL Management

Introduction To SQL Azure

A specific, compelling cloud-computing solution provided in the virtualised environment is Microsoft SQL Azure. SQL Azure is treated to be powerful, the most popularly used infrastructure for storing, managing and analyzing data in a virtualised environment. It also provides various benefits to cloud computing like Shared, hosted infrastructure will help to reduce both direct and indirect costs on the cloud platform, pay-as-you-go model will help to achieve greater efficiency, and Azure provides high availability (HA) and faults tolerance
services on the virtual environment.

Certainly, some aspects of Azure pose new challenges for the IT professional. The challenges brief about using the right services of Azure and using hosted services or in-house infrastructure on the Azure platform. Also, ensure that smooth integration of various Azure services and maintain strong security infrastructure and defines business-continuity plans in a virtualised environment. These challenges briefs about some of the issues faced by IT professionals that need to be evaluated in order to define proper cloud-computing solutions for their organization.

So, in order to address some of the above data concerns we have introduced the concept SQL Azure in the view of IT professionals.
