Azure SQL Hyperscale Revealed: High-Performance Scalable Solutions for Critical Data Workloads

Take a deep dive into the Azure SQL Database Hyperscale Service Tier and discover a new form of cloud architecture from Microsoft that supports massive databases. The new horizontally scalable architecture, formerly code-named Socrates, allows you to decouple compute nodes from storage layers. This radically different approach dramatically increases the scalability of the service. This book shows you how to leverage Hyperscale to provide next-level scalability, high throughput, and fast performance from large databases in your environment.
The book begins by showing how Hyperscale helps you eliminate many of the problems of traditional high-availability and disaster recovery architecture. You'll learn how Hyperscale overcomes storage capacity limitations and issues with scale-up times and costs. With Hyperscale, your costs do not increase linearly with database size and you can manage more data than ever at a lower cost.
The book teaches you how to deploy, configure, and monitor an Azure SQL Hyperscale database in a production environment. The book also covers migrating your current workloads from traditional architecture to Azure SQL Hyperscale.

What You Will Learn

• Understand the advantages of Hyperscale over traditional architecture
• Deploy a Hyperscale database on the Azure cloud (interactively and with code)
• Configure the advanced features of the Hyperscale database tier
• Monitor and scale database performance to suit your needs
• Back up and restore your Azure SQL Hyperscale databases
  
• Implement disaster recovery and failover capability
  
• Compare performance of Hyperscale vs traditional architecture
• Migrate existing databases to the Hyperscale service tier

Who This Book Is For
SQL architects, data engineers, and DBAs who want the most efficient and cost-effective cloud technologies to run their critical data workloads, and those seeking rapid scalability and high performance and throughput while utilizing large databases

深入探索Azure SQL Database Hyperscale服務層，並發現微軟提供的一種支援大型數據庫的新型雲架構。這種新的水平可擴展架構，曾經被代號為Socrates，允許您將計算節點與存儲層解耦。這種根本不同的方法極大地提高了服務的可擴展性。本書將向您展示如何利用Hyperscale在您的環境中提供下一級的可擴展性、高吞吐量和快速性能。

本書首先展示了Hyperscale如何幫助您消除傳統高可用性和災難恢復架構的許多問題。您將學習到Hyperscale如何克服存儲容量限制以及規模擴展時間和成本的問題。通過Hyperscale，您的成本不會隨著數據庫大小的增加而線性增加，您可以以更低的成本管理更多的數據。

本書教您如何在生產環境中部署、配置和監控Azure SQL Hyperscale數據庫。本書還介紹了如何將您目前的工作負載從傳統架構遷移到Azure SQL Hyperscale。

您將學到什麼
- 了解Hyperscale相對於傳統架構的優勢
- 在Azure雲上部署Hyperscale數據庫（交互式和代碼方式）
- 配置Hyperscale數據庫層的高級功能
- 監控和調整數據庫性能以滿足您的需求
- 備份和還原Azure SQL Hyperscale數據庫
- 實施災難恢復和故障轉移能力
- 比較Hyperscale和傳統架構的性能
- 將現有數據庫遷移到Hyperscale服務層

本書適合對象
SQL架構師、數據工程師和數據庫管理員，他們希望運行關鍵數據工作負載的最高效和最具成本效益的雲技術，以及那些在利用大型數據庫時尋求快速擴展性、高性能和吞吐量的人士。
