2.  On-premises databases are very high-maintenance:
Installation, Setup, Patching, Physical Management
 Achieving High Availability (HA) with a solid Disaster Recovery
(DR) or Fault Tolerance (FT) plan is very expensive, usually cost
prohibitive
 Scaling up (or down) quickly is difficult and expensive
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY DATABASE?

3. SQL Azure Database is
 SQL Server database technology
delivered as a service on the Windows
Azure Platform
 Ideal for both simple and complex
applications
 Enterprise-ready with automatic support
for HA
 Designed to scale out elastically with
demand
Get started quickly
 Choose a plan
 Choose a billing option
 Provision servers

8. SYNCHRONIZE YOUR DATA Provisioning synchronization groups
 Deploy database to hub and clients
 Set synchronization schedule
 Set conflict resolution policy
 Define data set
 Add SQL Azure clients to topology
 Install agents on SQL Server clients and add
them to topology using keys
 Deploy topology
Operational considerations
 Manual synchronization supported
 Hub updates require one synchronization to
distribute to all clients
 Client updates require two synchronizations
to distribute to all clients
 Sync Framework triggers may affect
application behavior

9.  Two sizes available:
 Web Edition – 1Gb @ $9.99 per month
 Business Edition – 10Gb $99.99 per month
 Bandwidth costs:
 Ingress to cloud - $0.10 per Gb
 Egress from cloud - $0.15 per Gb
 Guaranteed 99.9% uptime (down ~44 minutes per month)
