Managing data across cloud and non-cloud applications is extremely difficult. The myriad of data security and privacy regulations, need for data sovereignty and low tolerance for any form of disruption keeps data from living together in a single cloud or application. Yet managing volumes of data across siloed, disparate systems is costly and inefficient. This blog post describes how Azure Arc helps organizations resolve this conundrum by simplifying cloud data management across any infrastructure. Read it here.
Azure Arc is a set of technologies that extends Azure's innovations and cloud benefits to any infrastructure. It allows organizations to manage cloud-native databases like Azure SQL and PostgreSQL across on-premises data centers, third-party clouds, and edge environments. This helps organizations achieve consistency and automation in their data management, enabling them to focus on creating value and unlocking insights.
How does Azure Arc ensure data security?
Azure Arc offers industry-leading, multi-layered security features, including comprehensive encryption options like Transparent Data Encryption and Always Encrypted. It also utilizes Azure Role-Based Access Control and Policy to protect data at both the database engine level and through Azure's cloud security capabilities, ensuring that data remains secure regardless of where it is stored.
What are the benefits of the Business Critical tier in Azure Arc?
The Business Critical tier is designed to support demanding mission-critical data workloads with features that include high availability, advanced security, and performance parity with SQL Server Enterprise Edition. It allows for near-zero downtime during automated failovers and offers flexible configurations without set limits on CPU and memory, making it suitable for various workloads while providing cost efficiencies.
