Some questions
Have you worked with Azure?
Are you putting data in the cloud?
Do you have a cloud strategy?

Agenda
Introducing SQL Azure Database
Provisioning a SQL Azure Database
Cloudy Concerns
Pricing and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Introducing SQL Azure Database

Understanding as a Service
On Premise physical
On Premise - virtual
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS)

SQL Server Offerings
Source: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/data-management-azure-sql-database-and-sql-server-iaas/

Other noteworthy features
Enterprise features built in
High availability included
Replicated and recoverable

V12 Enterprise Ready
Significantly reduced feature gap
Improved security including row level security and transparent data encryption
Support for columnstore indexes
Increased business continuity RPO < 5 seconds; ERT < 30 seconds

Provisioning a SQL Azure Database

Cloudy ConcernsIs my data safe?
Is my data private?
What happens if the internet has issues?
What happens when I lose my connection?

Data Security Keep It Safe
Firewall rules to prevent access
Data encrypted in transit
Authenticated with Azure AD or SQL Server
Normal SQL Server Internal Security Applies Roles, RLS
Transparent Data Encryption

Data Privacy Keep It Secret
You Own Your Data (Not MS)You Control Your Data (Not MS)MS will notify if compelled by government agencies
We strive to be transparent in our privacy practices, offer you meaningful privacy choices, and responsibly manage the data we store and process. One measure of our commitment to the privacy of customer data is our adoption of the worlds first code of practice for cloud privacy, ISO/IEC 27018. Microsoft Azure Trust Center

Compliance
Microsoft Azure Trust CenterAs of June 2015 PCI DSS Level 1 HIPAA/HITECH FedRAMP FERPA ISO/IEC 27018:2014 FDA 21 CFR Part 11

Business Continuity
Microsofts SLA 99.99%
Redundant local copies
Geo-redundancy
ERT Expected Recovery TimeWhen you get back online?
RPO Recovery Point ObjectiveHow much data can I lose?

Resiliency Patterns & Practices
Retry LogicWhen coding for Azure SQL Database, you need to plan for connections being dropped and transient faults. You are working across the internet and these issues can happen and can be accounted for in your code with retry logic.
CachingCaching keeps applications running smoothly by keeping data ready to use without needing to query the database directly.

Sizing and Pricing

Fun with Sizing
Single or Elastic DatabaseSingle Database is one database
Elastic Database is a pool of resources (preview)
Service TierBasic
Standard
Premium

Size and Point in Time Restore ComparisonBasic
Up to 2 GBPoint in Time Restore 7 Days
StandardUp to 250 GBPoint in Time Restore 14 Days
PremiumUp to 1 TBPoint in Time Restore 35 Days

DTU Database Throughput Units DTU = A calculation to determine the amount of resources that can be used by the databaseBasic
5 DTUs 16,000 transactions per hour
Standard10-100 DTUs 521 to 5,100 transactions per minute
Premium125 1750 DTUs 105 to 735 transactions per second
TEST, TEST, TEST

Elastic Databases
Shared ResourcesDTUs and Storage are shared
More Flexibility to Support Enterprise Solutions

Pricing Sample

Other Real Options SAN storageH/ADisaster Recovery

Equivalent License Cost: $228,096 or 38 Months

Equivalent License Cost: $228,096 or 61 Months

Why Azure SQL Database
Cloud First Application Development
Limited IT Support Available
Predictable Service Cost (more predictable with Elastic)
