Azure SQL meets your mission-critical requirements up to 5 times faster and costs up to 93 percent less than AWS4. Additionally, you can cost-effectively retire legacy workloads that are reaching end-of-support by reducing your technical debt in a secure way with free Extended Security Updates on Azure for Windows Server 2012/R25. Plus, save up to 85 percent over the standard pay-as-you-go rate by bringing your Windows Server and SQL Server on-premises licenses to Azure6.

Maximize the value of your existing cloud investments by controlling cloud spend, improving workload efficiency, and optimizing workload costs. Microsoft Cost Management helps you understand your Azure bill, provides data analysis to costs, sets spending thresholds, and identifies opportunities for workload changes to optimize your costs. Azure Advisor provides personalized best practices for you to optimize your Azure workloads. Use guidance within the Cloud Adoption Framework and Azure Well-Architected Framework to ensure your teams follow Microsoft best practices for cost optimization throughout the cloud journey.

Drive market differentiation and emerge stronger with intelligent apps infused with AI.
