9 Scale on Demand
Scale on demand with flexible and hybrid deployment options on your terms server to cloud
Elastic Scale
- Self-service Deployments: Gain virtualized, on-demand capacity and self-service provisioning & usage metering with Microsoft private and public cloud offerings across SQL Server 2012 and SQL Azure.
- SQL Azure Federations: Support bursting scenarios by deploying all or part of an application to SQL Azure where Auto Scale policies create databases on-the-fly to support elastic demand.
Flexibility and Choice
- Contained Databases: Seamlessly migrate databases between or extend apps across different instances of SQL Server and SQL Azure with Contained Databases that define and contain the schemas and objects required to support an application.
- License Mobility: Support Hybrid IT, a flexible deployment environment across server and cloud, through unique licensing use rights that allow organizations to move licenses across server, private and public cloud.
- Data Sync: Enable new, creative hybrid application scenarios with bi-directional data synchronization between databases across datacenter and cloud.
