SQL Azure Database provides a relational database service running on Microsoft's cloud platform. Future plans include improved database cloning for backups, scale-out support through dynamic database splitting and merging, and improved connectivity between on-premises and cloud databases using synchronization technologies. The goal is to provide a highly scalable database service with a seamless experience for both developers and administrators.
