SQL Azure is a cloud based database solution which allows you to utilize a distributed, scalable, and efficient database environment accessible wherever you need it.
The capabilities of the cloud infrastructure are also extended to databases. SQL Azure reduces the need to manage and update the database and also makes server maintenance unnecessary. Features such as high ability and fault tolerance are built in. The database is distributed across many nodes rather than an individual database on a single machine. Large queries are scaled around many machines which can dramatically improve running time. Databases within the cloud can be accessed by applications which run locally or on the cloud. If database needs grow outside of the bounds of the current resources, more resources can be obtained. Alternatively, resources can be scaled back when they are no longer needed.
