Azure SQL Database is the intelligent, fully managed relational cloud database service that provides the broadest SQL Server engine compatibility, so users can migrate SQL Server databases without changing apps. Take advantage of built-in intelligence that learns app patterns and adapts to maximize performance, reliability, and data protection. Importing and migrating bulk data from on premises or other cloud providers to SQL Database has never been easier. Use the power of Azure to transform unstructured and semi-structured flat files, or migrate an entire database schema directly into SQL Database to produce consumable data products for analytics, reporting, or intelligent applications. Taking advantage of SQL Database end points for transaction replication allows applications to function seamlessly both on-premises and in Azure. Easily replicate data among multiple SQL Databases to enable isolation of mission-critical workloads from longer running analytics queries. By using Azure Data Sync and transactional replication, developers will be able to modernize applications in a tiered approach from on-premises to hybrid, and move fully to the cloud. Using Microsoft products or various open-source products running on the Azure platform, high velocity streaming data can be easily consumed, rationalized, and stored in SQL Database. These new data streams will help drive additional intelligence for applications, analytical insight, and operational reporting. From serverless deployments and new data streams to the migration of existing data assets, simplifying the entire data estate is easy using the integrated services across Azure. Bring new data sources together with existing data in a seamless experience that provides customers with new insights and value. The Azure platform fully manages every Azure SQL Database and guarantees no data loss and high percentage of data availability.
