The migration of relational databases to a cloud-based environment is one of the key issues in modern IT architectures. The focus is on secure, scalable, and cost-effective data platforms that reliably transfer existing SQL Server environments to Azure SQL and enable long-term operation.

Key topics

  • Migration strategies for SQL Server to Azure SQL.
  • Architecture and operating models in Azure.
  • Performance, security, and high availability.
  • Data consistency, governance, and compliance.
  • Automation, monitoring, and cost control.

Prerequisites
Solid knowledge of relational databases and practical experience with SQL Server. A basic understanding of cloud and network architectures is required.

Target audience
IT professionals, database administrators, and architects responsible for the migration, operation, and optimization of data platforms.

Working with Azure SQL opens up sustainable options for stable, flexible, and maintainable data solutions. Existing systems are further developed in a structured manner and aligned with modern cloud standards, with a focus on security, efficiency, and long-term scalability.
