Software giant Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform is now simpler, more open and more affordable, thanks to the new updates that have upgraded the SQL Azure database service, simplified billing and management.
The new Windows Azure SDK for Node. js provides developers with a better environment to create and deploy better Node apps, with hosting, storage and service bus support for Azure.
As promised at PASS summit in October this year, Microsoft will also deliver a restricted preview of an Apache Hadoop-based service for Windows.
The changes will allow customers to reap the benefits of advanced analytics for big data. What is more is that deployment of apps will now take considerably less time than earlier.
Customers with 50GB databases or bigger can now keep on growing without incurring any additional cost, as the software giant has tripled the size for SQL Azure databases to 150GB.
In addition, SQL Azure Management Portal has been upgraded with a new Metro-style UI and better capabilities to monitor databases.
The company is also offering a free 90-day trial of the service for new customers.
The changes have apparently been made to allure more and more customers away from Amazon’s cloud.
