The cloud database SQL Server supports a variety of specifications to meet different performance, scalability, and reliability needs. These specifications typically include:
-
Compute Specifications:
- Different CPU cores (e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 cores) to handle varying workloads.
- Memory options (e.g., 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB) for in-memory processing and caching.
- Example: A small e-commerce site might use a 4-core, 16GB memory configuration, while a large enterprise application may require 32 cores and 128GB memory.
-
Storage Specifications:
- Storage capacity (e.g., 50GB, 100GB, 500GB, 1TB, 5TB) with options for SSD or HDD.
- Storage type: Provisioned IOPS (input/output operations per second) for high-performance workloads.
- Example: A database for a financial application requiring low latency might use SSD storage with high IOPS.
-
High Availability and Disaster Recovery:
- Always On Availability Groups or Failover Clustering for high availability.
- Geo-replication for disaster recovery across regions.
- Example: A global SaaS company might use geo-replication to ensure data availability during regional outages.
-
Backup and Maintenance:
- Automated backups with customizable retention policies.
- Point-in-time restore capabilities.
- Example: A healthcare provider might configure daily backups with 30-day retention for compliance.
-
Networking and Security:
- Private network access for secure connections.
- Encryption at rest and in transit.
- Example: A government agency might use private networking and encryption to protect sensitive data.
