INTRODUCING WESLEY • Wesley Backelant • Technology Advisor – Data Platform / Business Intelligence • wesback@microsoft.com • http://www.twitter.com/WesleyBackelant

LET’S GET STARTED

WINDOWS AZURE PLATFORM GENERAL PURPOSE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES Windows Azure Platform Compute Management Storage CDN

SQL AZURE – CORE DIFFERENTIATORS Managed Service Scale on Demand Innovate Faster• Platform capabilities • Database as a utility • Innovate with new data delivered as a service with pay as you grow application patterns (Database, Data Sync, scaling Reporting…) • Build cloud-based data • Rely on Business-ready solutions on a familiar• Reduced complexity, SLAs relational model greater flexibility • Enable multi-tenant • Build on existing• Easy provisioning and solutions developer skills and deployment familiar Transact-SQL • Manage multiple syntax• Auto High availability and servers fault tolerant

SQL AZURE DATABASESingle Logical Multiple Physical Database Replicas Replica 1 Global datacenters Replica 2 DB High Availability & Redundancy • Reads are completed at the primary • Writes are replicated to a quorum of secondaries Replica 3

SECURITY IN SQL AZURE• Logical tenant isolation• Encrypted communication• Firewall rules to accept connections from specific IP addresses• Uses regular SQL security model • Authenticate logins, map to users and roles • Authorize users and roles to SQL object• Support for standard SQL Auth logins • Username + password Security model is compatible with on-premise SQL

APPLICATION TOPOLOGIES From From Outside From Windows Azure & Outside Windows Azure Microsoft Datacenter Microsoft Datacenter Application / Browser App Code / Tools App Code / Tools SQL Azure Data Sync Microsoft Microsoft Microsoft Windows Datacenter Datacenter Windows Datacenter Azure Azure SQL Azure SQL Azure SQL Azure Code Near Code Far Hybrid

MIGRATING TO SQL AZURE5 step process1. Get SQL Azure account2. Choose your Migration tool 1. SQL Azure Migration Wizard 2. Built-in SQL script generation (Including data) 3. Data tier application (DACPAC / BACPAC)3. Migrate4. Change Connection String5. Test , Test, Test

TRANSFERRING LARGE DATA• Best Practices for efficient Data movement to SQL Azure • Use the right tools is key o BCP (or SQL Azure Migration Wizard) • Network performance considerations o Latency vs Bandwidth• Best Practices on database level • Optimize Databases for Data Import o Disable/Delay creation of none Clustered Indexes o Order Data on the Clustered Index o Disable Triggers and Constraint checking • -N Native mode so no data type conversion needed. o -c Character mode for interoperability • -b batchsize will let you control transaction size • -h”TABLOCK, ORDER(…)” optimize writes

SQL AZURE MIGRATION WIZARD• Great Utility for Moving Databases from SQL Server to SQL Azure • Pros o Parallel uploads o Built in Retry Logic o Full control on export and Import o Supports Multiple Languages • Cons o Unsupported

DACPAC VS BACPAC• Move Schema through application lifecycle and manage databases at scale• Move Schema and Data through SQL Server and SQL Azure

DEMO – MIGRATING TO SQL AZURE

SQL AZURE DATA SYNC • No-Code Sync Configuration • Easily define data to be synchronized with out coding • Choose how often data is synchronized • Handle issues where same data is changed in multiple locations • Administration capabilities for tracking data and monitoring potential issues • Sync Between SQL Azure Databases • Geo-Replication, Read/Write Scale out • Sync From On–Premises to Cloud • Extend enterprise data to cloud • Build offline cached experiences • Sync with branch offices and mobile devices

DEMO – DATA SYNCING

WHY SQL AZURE Best TCO • Designed for Internet Scale • High Availability Built in • Transparent maintenance Familiar and Unique Productive Innovation • Less Complex; Better value • BI as a service • Developer platform and • Data Sync broad ecosystem

RESOURCES• SQL Azure Migration Wizard• SQL Azure Labs• Windows Azure
