Discovery and Assessment of SQL Server at Scale with Azure Migrate

Image
An organization’s successful cloud migration is heavily dependant on moving its on premises infrastructure to the cloud, and Azure Migrate greatly simplifies this process by allowing you to perform agentless discovery and readiness assessments of SQL server. This is an easy solution to discover your entire SQL ecosystem, and have a unified experience for assessments of your IaaS & PaaS assets. Azure Migrate offers a complete repository of tools from Microsoft and partners for your migration needs. The latest release unifies three tools for server, database and web-app assessment to create a guided start-to-finish flow. You can now perform assessments for Azure SQL Managed Instances & Azure SQL Databases. Imminent releases are expected to support integrated assessment for Azure App Service too. With this release you can discover SQL Server and databases (running in VMware) and conduct analyses of their configuration and performance, as well as check application dependencies befo...

Go cloud native with Microsoft Azure

Image
To truly take advantage of cloud computing technologies, organizations must develop cloud native applications; in other words: applications built to run in a cloud infrastructure. What does this mean? Native Cloud Applications (NCA) are designed to take advantage of cloud frameworks, i.e. loosely coupled cloud services. This means developers have to break down tasks so they can run on discrete servers in separate locations. Since native cloud apps run on infrastructure that is not supported locally, NCAs must be redundancy-robust. As storage and services for compute can be scaled as needed there is no need to over-provision resources—hardware, load balancers, etc. NCA Characteristics Cloud native technologies allow you to run scalable single responsibility principle  (SRP) based microserver (m11) based apps in public, private or hybrid cloud-environments. m11 applications are built to do only one task, but they do it very well. m11 are also enable containerization, agility (using D...
