Microsoft is all set to make Windows Azure an unparallel cloud computing platform. The recent report about its plan to include a series of new features on Azure proves this. As part of its plan, the tech giant would include a series of features such as autoscale improvements, SQL server support and notification hubs. According to Windows tech support, the decision would help trigger an increase in the number of Windows Azure users in the coming days.
SQL Server Support
Among the many new features going to be launched on Windows Azure, techies are more taken to the SQL Server support. It is said that the feature would enable users to use disaster recovery options more easily. Disaster recovery was an option that was initially added to SQL Server 2012. Using this option, users could handle issues such as configuration failures, database failure and replicas. According to Microsoft, “the complete SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups technology stack with Windows Azure Virtual Machines – including enabling support for SQL Server Availability Group Listeners."
The decision would also mean that users can now use replicas to backup important files stored via Windows Azure service. Microsoft would also provide users with real time SQL server support. This would certainly reduce the chances of data lose in case the disaster recovery fails to back up all the necessary files.
About the Notification hub
Another feature that has thrilled techies is the newly added notification hub. The feature would allow mobile app developers to send push notifications concurrently. As a result, they can optimize the available resources such as ability to manage locations, user personalization services and handling several platform devices at the same time. As of now, Bing news is the only app that makes use of the notification hub service for its news updates.
About the Autoscaling feature
In addition to the above mentioned features, the users of Windows Azure service would also be allowed to avail advanced features like autoscaling. Windows tech support claims that autoscaling would cut off the staggering costs required for optimizing the performance standards.
Hopefully, now Microsoft would focus on the other technical issues that make Windows Azure platform even more popular in the coming months. Hope you found this article useful. For more information, visit the official Microsoft website.
