This enables easier cloud integration than ever before with new disaster recovery functionality for <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/azure-sql\/managed-instance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure SQL Managed Instance<\/a> and seamless analytics over on-premises operational data with Synapse Link for SQL Server. Microsoft continues to invest in our <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/azure-sql\/managed-instance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure SQL family<\/a> of databases providing flexible options for app migration, modernization, and development. Azure SQL Managed Instance has a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/SQL_MI_Ignite_News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">key announcements<\/a>, including business offers with significantly more memory per vCore and increased storage to 16 TB in both the general purpose and business-critical service tiers, providing more room for app growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure is also the best cloud for NoSQL and open source databases. <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/cosmos-db\/?OCID=AID2200277_SEM_722a85aa46ae12e7f7fde4c2312862ad:G:s&amp;ef_id=722a85aa46ae12e7f7fde4c2312862ad:G:s&amp;msclkid=722a85aa46ae12e7f7fde4c2312862ad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Cosmos DB<\/a> is a fully managed NoSQL database built to support production applications at any size or scale. Financially backed service-legal agreements (SLA&#8217;s) guaranteeing consistency, high throughput, less than 10 ms latency reads and writes, and 99.999 percent availability make it simple for developers to independently and elastically scale applications across any Azure region. Today we are announcing the general availability of <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/managed-instance-apache-cassandra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra<\/a>, providing the ability to provision managed native Apache Cassandra clusters with automated deployment and scaling operations, accelerating hybrid scenarios, and reducing ongoing maintenance. <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/mysql\/flexible-server\/overview#:~:text=Azure%20Database%20for%20MySQL%20-%20Flexible%20Server%20%28Preview%29,10%20Monitoring%20and%20alerting.%20...%20More%20items...%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flexible Server<\/a>&nbsp;(preview), a new deployment option for <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/mysql\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Database for MySQL<\/a> is also now generally available.

When we debuted <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/services\/synapse-analytics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Synapse Analytics<\/a>, we effectively removed the barriers between enterprise data warehousing and big data analytics to enable data professionals to collaborate, build, and manage their analytic solutions with ease. Since its launch, the number of Azure customers running petabyte-scale workloads has increased fivefold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we didn\u2019t stop there. We introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/cosmos-db\/synapse-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Synapse Link for Azure Cosmos DB<\/a> last year, creating a simple, low-cost, cloud-native HTAP&nbsp;implementation that enables immediate, in-the-moment business insights.
