A new normal is emerging globally as businesses restart or rebuild in the face of rapidly changing conditions. To keep up with the pace of change and address new opportunities that arise, businesses are looking to the cloud for ways to optimize their IT and other data-related costs—and redirect the savings to higher priorities.

Backups, patching, and updates are performed on your behalf, and features like high availability, performance tuning, and more are part of Azure SQL’s managed services.
