Lynn Langit: Senior Developer Evangelist, MicrosoftGregory Leake: Director SQL Azure Technical Marketing, Microsoft

Session Objectives and TakeawaysSession Objective(s):

See and understand the breadth of DBA tools for SQL AzureThese tools include the following:

• Windows Azure Portal• SQL Server Management Studio• Visual Studio (Juneau –or SSDT)/ LightSwitch• OData, WCF Data Services

Session Takeaway:SQL Azure has a variety of tools for DBAs and DevelopersUse the right tool for the task(s)

Note: we are covering RELATIONAL cloud database options here only. For information about non-relational (i.e. NoSQL, etc…) see this link http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazure/CSAzureTableStorageWCFDS-2355159b

Extending SQL Server to the Cloud

Symmetry with Traditional RDBMS

Enterprise-class “scale-up” data platform

Multiple hardware platforms and deployment options

Deploy as dedicated server in customer datacenter, VM or 3rd party

Typically licensed per-server or per processor

Distributed “scale-out” database service

Abstracts OS and hardware management

Low-friction provisioning, multi-tenant

Automatic high-availability and data replication

Pay-as-you-go and commitment offers

Familiar T-SQL relational modelSupport existing code libraries and protocolsEcosystem of familiar development and management tools

SQL Azure Database

Cloud relational database based on SQL Server engine

Use same tools, data access frameworks, T-SQL based language

Global datacenters

High Availability & Redundancy

• Reads are completed at the primary• Writes are replicated to a quorum of

secondaries

• Scale-out via multiple copies of data

• E.g. Separate reporting & OLTP workloads; multiple Web sites

• Geo-located web applications

• Use with Windows Azure Traffic Manager

• Hybrid applications; one-way publish or two-way sharing

• Multiple locations (e.g. branch office, retail offices); share data between locations and/or aggregate data in cloud

SQL Azure Reporting and Data Sync Previews

SQL Azure Data Sync (CTP)No-Code Sync Configuration• Configure and manage using

Windows Azure Portal• Define data to be synchronized

and locations• Choose how often data is

synchronized• Specify optional filters

Full Data Synchronization Capabilities• Two-way sync of same data, as

well as one-way sync

Conflict Handling• Detect and resolve conflicts

caused by the same data being changed in multiple locations

Cloud BI Value Scenarios

Departments, groups or small businesses need reporting but don’t have the resources for procuring hardware and software licenses, installing, configuring and managing the system

QuickStart, Departmental, Sandbox BI

Businesses with seasonality or fluctuating capacity over time cannot easily plan for maximum capacity – which will be idle a large % of the time.

Seasonal processing

Businesses need the flexibility to pick the right deployment option to address specific requirements including maintaining sensitive data on premises while extending access.

Hybrid deploymentsExtended Enterprise

Businesses need to share insights from data generated by internal systems with external partners including supply chain partners
