Azure SQL Data Sync allows you to synchronize data between Azure SQL Database and any other SQL endpoints unidirectionally or bidirectionally. It enables hybrid SQL deployment and allows local data access from both Azure and on-premises application. It also allows you to deploy your data applications globally with a local copy of data in each region, and keep data synchronized across all the regions. It will significantly improve the application response time and reliability by eliminating the impact of network latency and connection failure rate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Azure SQL Data Sync\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/95b655c8-2995-4c68-8b55-ba3cf87f7422.webp\" title=\"Azure SQL Data Sync\" width=\"1003\"><\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s new in Azure SQL Data Sync<\/h2>\n<p>With the GA announcement, Azure SQL Data Sync supports some new capabilities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Better configuration experience<\/strong> \u2013 More reliable configuration workflow and more intuitive user experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More reliable and faster database schema refresh<\/strong> \u2013 Load database schema more efficiently using new SMO library.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More secured data synchronization<\/strong> \u2013 We reviewed the end-to-end sync workflow and ensured user data are always encrypted at rest and in transit.
