SQL's Future Is Cloudy
There was so much news last week at PDC that I'll probably spend the bulk of
this week bringing it all to you. We've already talked about
Azure,
Microsoft's cloud operating system/platform. Besides being a development platform,
Azure is also a set of services that will run in the cloud. In this case, Microsoft
defines the cloud as one of its own rather massive datacenters.
Running in this Microsoft-seeded cloud will be database services driven by
a revamped
version of good old SQL Server. Interested folks can get a sneak peak at
these services by looking at Microsoft projects hosted on the SQL Services Lab
Portal.
