Things you can do with SQL Azure

Developer agility

Provide developers with a familiar data access interface and relational data model. Develop an application in an on-premises instance of SQL Server, and then deploy to SQL Azure. Take advantage of programming technologies like LINQ and the Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework, or support PHP and Java.

Development and administration

Join familiar SQL Server concepts with flexible provisioning in the cloud. Enable developers and administrators to focus on data model design instead of physical management.

Synchronization and offline scenarios

Support occasionally connected application scenarios by using SQL Azure Data Sync. Use SQL Azure to synchronize on-premises applications and client devices.
