Why Migrate to Azure SQL?

Migrate your SQL Server databases without changing your apps.

Get the broadest SQL Server engine compatibility and native virtual network (VNET) support with SQL Database Managed Instance. This option gives you the best of SQL Server, plus the operational and cost benefits of an intelligent fully managed service. Managed Instance is ideal for migrating a large number of existing SQL Server databases from on-premises or virtual machines to SQL Database.

Maximize ROI by migrating to the cloud.

Reduce the burden of data-tier management and save time and costs by migrating workloads to the cloud. Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server provides a cost-effective path for migrating hundreds or thousands of SQL Server databases with minimal effort. Use your SQL Server licenses with Software Assurance to pay a reduced rate when migrating to the cloud. Save up to 55 percent with Azure Hybrid Benefit, and up to 80 percent with reserved capacity. Learn how customers have increased productivity by up to 40 percent by migrating to Azure SQL Database.

Migrate massive databases and scale up to 100 TB.

Get rapid, dynamic storage with SQL Database Hyperscale—the new, highly performant database scaling technology. Hyperscale enables SQL Database to adapt to your workloads and optimize resources on demand.

Provision one or more additional compute nodes that can serve your read-only workload, and use them as a hot standby in case of failover.

Perform operations in constant time, regardless of the size of the data operation.

Scale compute and storage resources rapidly and independently, without sacrificing performance.

Develop secure apps in the cloud.

Use intelligent protection and industry-leading security and privacy capabilities to:

Optimize performance with built-in intelligence.

Improve memory usage, throughput, latency, and query performance.

Intelligent performance tuning uses built-in intelligence with machine learning and adaptive technologies to continuously optimize database performance in real time. Automatically receive tuning recommendations, insights, and performance improvements.
Intelligent query processing improves workload performance with minimal implementation effort. Features include adaptive query processing, which adapts optimization strategies to application workload runtime conditions, and approximate query processing, designed to aggregate large data sets when responsiveness is critical.

Build multitenant apps in your preferred environment.

Seamlessly enable DevOps by developing in SQL Server containers and deploying in SQL Database with the easy-to-use tools you already have, such as Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio. Or build your applications with Python, Java, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, and .NET on the MacOS, Linux, and Windows platforms—and deliver with the speed and efficiency your business demands.
