Description
Many of the operations that are critical to your organization use transactional databases. Regardless of the how you use these databases, strong performance is essential. A high-performing database not only delivers a good experience to users, but it can support more simultaneous transactions. When running your databases in the cloud, you can even lower monthly expenditures by selecting virtual machines (VMs) that deliver better performance.
Companies across many industries use Microsoft SQL Server for their online transaction processing (OLTP) activities. For those running SQL Server OLTP workloads in the cloud, choosing the right VM can have a big impact on performance levels, often due to the different processors that power different VM series. Looking at performance test results can provide insight into which VMs can deliver a greater return on your cloud investment.
