A new initiative for a development platform is coming from Microsoft. The Azure Services Platform. This platform enables to build applications for the cloud and offers a scalable hosted infrastructure for deploying and managing these applications and their data stores. Microsoft SQL Data Services (SDS) is a cloud-based relational database platform built on SQL Server technologies. With SDS, you can easily provision and deploy relational database solutions to the cloud, and take advantage of a globally distributed data center that provides enterprise-class availability, scalability, and security with the benefits of built-in data protection, self-healing and disaster recovery. In this session we will have a brief overview of the Azure Service Platform and see the new concepts behind Microsoft’s SQL Services vision.
