Azure SQL Data WarehouseSQL Server 2014 Training
The defining characteristic of cloud computing is elasticity – the ability to rapidly provision and release resources to match what a workload requires – so that a user pays no more and no less than what they need to for the task at hand. Such just-in-time provisioning can save customers enormous amounts of money when their workloads are intermittent and heavily spiked. And in the modern enterprise, there are few workloads that have a desperate need for such elastic capabilities as data warehousing. With the general availability of the Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Microsoft has delivered the true promise of cloud elasticity to data warehousing. Learn more about this new release here.
