Database Import and Export for SQL Azure
SQL Azure database users have a simpler way to archive SQL Azure and SQL Server databases, or to migrate on-premises SQL Server databases to SQL Azure. Import and export services through the Data-tier Application (DAC) framework make archival and migration much easier. The import and export features demonstrated in this video provide the ability to retrieve and restore an entire database, including schema and data, in a single operation.

Paladin Data Systems: Software Provider Reduces Operating Costs ...
In 2009, Paladin Data Systems moved its planning and permits solution from the Oracle platform to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 to attract small, municipal government customers. To make it easy for these jurisdictions to acquire and use the solution, called SMARTGov Community, Paladin wanted to offer a hosted version. When it heard about the Windows Azure platform, it turned to Microsoft SQL Azure, a cloud-based, relational database service built on Microsoft SQL Server technologies, as a less expensive alternative to building its own hosting infrastructure. Almost immediately, attracted by the easy deployment, low maintenance, and reliability of a Microsoft-hosted solution, Paladin gained its first customer. Looking ahead, it expects increased market share and profit margins because it can provision customers in the cloud at a tenth of what it would have cost to host solutions in-house.

Quosal: Software Provider Offers Cloud-Based Database, Sales Jum...
Quosal wanted to offer a hosted version of its quote and proposal software to customers around the world, but this would require building three new data centers. After Microsoft launched the Windows Azure platform, Quosal turned to Microsoft SQL Azure, a cloud-based, relational database platform built on Microsoft SQL Server technologies, as an alternative to building its own global hosting infrastructure. Almost overnight this 10-person company gained access to a worldwide market of customers who benefit from having their Quosal databases hosted in the cloud, rather than managing their own on-premises servers. In 10 months, Quosal increased its customer base by 15 percent and global sales by 50 percent—while avoiding a planned U.S.$300,000 in infrastructure costs and ongoing monthly maintenance costs of $6,000.
