Building the sales projections is very resource intensive are generates upwards of 20 terabytes (TB) of data. Microsoft Azure SQL Databases must be provisioned.

– Database provisioning must maximize performance and minimize cost

– The daily sales for each region must be stored in an Azure SQL Database instance

Explanation:

Box 1: Azure SQL Database elastic pools

SQL Database elastic pools are a simple, cost-effective solution for managing and scaling multiple databases that have varying and unpredictable usage demands. The databases in an elastic pool are on a single Azure SQL Database server and share a set number of resources at a set price. Elastic pools in Azure SQL Database enable SaaS developers to optimize the price performance for a group of databases within a prescribed budget while delivering performance elasticity for each database.

Box 2: Azure SQL Database Hyperscale

A Hyperscale database is an Azure SQL database in the Hyperscale service tier that is backed by the Hyperscale scale-out storage technology. A Hyperscale database supports up to 100 TB of data and provides high throughput and performance, as well as rapid scaling to adapt to the workload requirements. Scaling is transparent to the application C connectivity, query processing, and so on, work like any other SQL database.
