This white paper explains how PowerFlex and Azure Arc-enabled data services with a SQL Managed Instance provide a Database as a Service (DBaaS) integrated platform. The solution that is described in this paper provides a true DBaaS offering with a self-service provisioned SQL database, elastic scale, and unified management on a flexible software-defined infrastructure platform with linearly-scaling performance and network throughput.
Leveraging existing tools, making use of portal deployments and management, and dynamic scripting and automation, are all components of a true DBaaS platform. The integrated solution of Azure Arc-enabled data services with PowerFlex provides all these benefits while adding high performance at scale.
