SQL Azure Database

• Based on SQL Server 2008 R2 engine

• Use same tools and data access frameworks

• Six global datacenters• High Availability & Redundancy

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

secondaries

Replica 1

Replica 2

Replica 3

DB

Single LogicalDatabase

Multiple PhysicalReplicas

Single Primary

MultipleSecondaries

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

CDC, Change Tracking, Replication for SQL Azure

Advancing Sharding in SQL Azure

• Elastic Provisioning of Databases– CREATE DATABASE and go

• Pay-as-you-go business model– Don’t need it --- DROP it

• Zero Physical Administration– Built-in High Availability, patching, maintenance

• Improved Developer Experience– Robust connection management

• Improved Administration– Online repartitioning operations

– Fan-out Queries

Coming up in SQL Azure:Federations

CREATE FEDERATION federation_name { <federation_distribution_scheme> }

Sharding Databases

• 1 x 20 GB database = 1 Machine

• 20 x 1 GB databases = 20 Machines
