![]() ![]() The advantages for customers are clear: no hardware to manage and no software to install. Many common databases already in use are being refactored and provided as service offerings to customers in Azure. It is important to understand the terminology and how the different database services in Azure best meet the demands of your specific application. If you read my previous article on SAS Data Connectors and Amazon Web Services, you are sure to see many parallels. Azure databasesĪzure offers database service technologies familiar to many users. ![]() SAS integrates with your cloud database even if SAS is running on-premise or with a different cloud provider. Azure’s DBaaS offerings takes care of the scalability and high availability of the database with minimal user input. A database running in Azure is much like your on-premise database, but instead Microsoft manages the software and hardware. SAS has extended SAS Data Connectors and SAS In-Database Technologies support to Azure database variants. As more technologies move to a cloud-based architecture, companies must consider questions like: Where do I store my data? What cloud services best meet my business requirements? Which cloud vendor should I use? Can I migrate my applications to the cloud? If you are looking to migrate your SAS infrastructure to Azure, look at the SAS Viya QuickStart Template for Azure to see a rapid deployment pattern to get the SAS Viya platform up and running in Azure. Just like compute in the cloud, data storage in the cloud is elastic and responds to demand while only paying for what you use. SAS In-Database technologies in SAS Viya, called the SAS Data Connect Accelerator, are synonymous with the SAS Embedded Process.Īs companies move their computing to the cloud, they are also moving their storage to the cloud. These articles focus primarily on SAS Data Connectors as part of SAS Viya, but all the same functionality is available using a SAS/ACCESS Interface in SAS 9.4. Many of the core technologies and services are offered across the different cloud providers. I would encourage you to read all the articles in the series even if you are already using a specific cloud provider. The goal of these articles is to supply a breakdown of these services to better understand the business requirements of these offerings and how they relate to SAS. I will cover Google Cloud Platform in future articles. One of those articles covers the DBaaS offerings and the other covers storage offerings for Amazon Web Services. I have already published two articles on Amazon Web Services. This is the next iteration of a series covering database as a service (DBaaS) and storage offerings in the cloud, this time from Microsoft Azure. Access all the articles in the series here. This article covers the SAS offerings available to connect to and interact with the various database options available in Microsoft Azure. Editor’s note: This is the third article in a series by Conor Hogan, a Solutions Architect at SAS, on SAS and database and storage options on cloud technologies. ![]()
